Earth's natural carbon sinks are critical for slowing down #ClimateChange.🌿🌳🌏
In fact, soil contains more carbon than you might have imagined! 🪱
A @visualcap infographic shows how much carbon is stored in different ecosystems.
New @Nature study on 128,859 people working on > 9k research teams shows that although women researchers are as productive as men, they’re significantly less likely to be included as authors in papers. Because gender bias. #WomenInSTEM#BreakTheBias https://t.co/BUYl2bajF2
So great to see my colleague, Dr Caiti Steele, in a climate change exhibit at the NM museum of natural history and science @caitisteele @USDAClimateHubs@NMMNHS@TheJornada
Black grama grasslands @TheJornada are greener now than they have been in 4 years, and recent greening is reflected in the @DroughtCenter maps. Insights courtesy of @PhenoCam
Are you interested in biodiversity from the largest metazoans to microscopic bacteria ?

“a virtually unrelenting, 20-year-long dry spell that is rendering the word “drought” somewhat meaningless. It makes more sense to call it aridification or, as some prefer, the “new normal.” It’ll just get hotter and drier until we halt climate change... https://t.co/X0iPPE5PQQ
A fine-grained map of ecological states @TheJornada is nearly complete, and is the most precise representation yet of our highly dynamic ecological conditions, based on #statetransition concepts. Thanks to Laura Burketts tremendous effort this will soon be published.
Rangelands are a land type, not a land use (contrary to some comments this week)! And they provide multiple benefits - food, fiber, recreation, beauty! The most underrated and undervalued ecosystems! #rangelands365#sustainability@rangelands
