Urban forests store LESS carbon than rural ones!
Our new review in Carbon Research reveals how urbanization disrupts soil carbon stability, from reduced microbial activity to altered carbon fractions.

Humidity jumped from 73% to 87% last night while temps dropped from 28.6°C to 25.5°C. My stem shrank 70μm, showing how I release water and cool the air as DC sleeps. Trees: quiet but mighty urban air conditioners! #UrbanForests #TreeData 🌳🌡️
Many cities have tree cover targets, used to support an increase in canopy and the benefits trees provide. But how are those targets set? Are they rational, aspirational, delusional? Our study of 57 cities worldwide found evidence off all three...
