Reminder for MAGA politicians et al. who say "but C02 is plant food": only when N and H2O are sufficient, AGW doesn't increase the spread of pathogens as well as the intensity and frequency of extreme weather events, water and air pollution decreases etc.

-Less respiration.
-Delayed sap flow.
-Shrinking bilberry patches.

Fig. 4: Boreal forest growth and change hotspots. From: Russian forests show strong potential for young forest growth Fig. 4 A Boreal forest height-age growth potential calculated as expected minus observed forest height at the time of measurement. B Change hotspots calculated as the normalized z-score range of segments disturbed throughout the domain. C Growth hotspots, calculated as the growth-gap that is greater than the third quartile of change hotspots.

[4/4] La figure 4 identifie les zones de forte croissance des forêts boréales, en particulier en Russie. Ces zones sont essentielles pour maximiser le stockage de carbone, et leur gestion peut permettre d’augmenter leur capacité à absorber le CO2 atmosphérique. #geography #borealforests #Russia

Fig. 3: Representative latitude transects of site index (SI). figure 3 The red north arrow indicates the location of the transect. Circumboreal SI derived from forest height-age relationship; rates presented are estimated on the 90th percentile of the expected height at the reference age (year 50), sequenced from south to north latitude. Green boxes indicate the upper and lower quartiles, green lines within boxes indicate the median, and red points indicate uncertainty bounds. Each chart title indicates the 0.5° × 0.5° area sampled with the equation (E) applied from Supplementary Table 1. Grayed area represents the samples excluded from analysis (NX), with the total number (N) of height-age pairs used displayed in chart titles.

[3/4] La fig.3 montre les différences de potentiel de croissance des forêts selon la latitude. Les forêts du sud de la zone boréale, notamment en #Russie, ont un plus grand potentiel de développement en hauteur, favorisant la séquestration du carbone. #geography #borealforests #Russia #CCS

Earth breaches 1.5 °C climate limit for the first time: what does it mean? The threshold has been exceeded for only one year so far, but humanity is nearing the end of what many thought was a ‘safe zone’ as climate change worsens.

"Great" 🥲 way to start the new account about the effects of climate change on forests and forest trees. Hopefully we'll all learn more while trying to keep this 1.5 °C as an exception. 💪
