🌿#Grasslands are an overlooked player in climate change mitigation.

90% of their #carbon is stored underground, where their diversity helps increase the amount of organic carbon stored in roots and soils.

Because of this, and because many grasslands plants have deep and resilient root systems, their carbon stores may be more stable than those in forests, better able to withstand environmental stressors like #drought and fires.

Paper out https://t.co/xZgJZf27jW Can an #invasive plant disrupt #pollination in just days? We showed that #HimalayanBalsam reduces effective pollen transfer to the native Stachys sylvatica by 80% within 4 days. Visits are not always pollination!

Heatwaves. Droughts. Floods. As climate extremes become more frequent, they may be silently increasing the risk of plant disease outbreaks by reshaping plant pathogens, beneficial microbiomes and host immunity. Check out our latest Review @NatureRevMicro https://t.co/7AKnDeXSPf

Trait-based responses of soil nematode communities to land use and climate change🌍

By linking nematode traits to soil moisture and pore structure, we find that the effect of future climate on nematode body traits is land-use dependent🪱

HUGE INCREASE IN RATE OF GLOBAL WARMING, STILL INCREASING
The rate of warming is an essential climate change indicator, along with the degree of warming. It shows most strongly how the climate emergency is spinning faster out of control, driven by fossil fuels, and most dire. It demands immediate action to slash emissions, phasing out fossil fuels fast.
