Rapid warming in Arctic and boreal regions may transform forests & tundra from carbon sinks into carbon sources.

Two new papers from @UofUBiology researchers aim to improve how scientists measure biomass across these zones.

Defended! ✓ Kyle Kittelberger studies bird populations to uncover how their biology may change in response to environmental pressures, such as wildfire. Congrats, Kyle!

Fall colors aren’t just beautiful — they’re biology in action.
As trees prep for winter, leaf pigments shine through, helping them adapt + survive.

"The weak land carbon sink hypothesis" published in @ScienceAdvances today. Drawing upon satellite biomass, we propose increases in the ocean sink and decreases in fossil fuel emissions to close the budget with a net land sink of 0.8 Pg C/y from 2000-2019 https://t.co/ZSFl0hkL3k

@ultracricket @UMaine Incredible, congratulations!!

@postleop my plot requires a log scale 😬

[James Bullock @jbprime]

More CA state forests are vulnerable to wildfire due to climate change, with recent fires so big and intense that forests can’t keep up.

Many thanks to collaborators at @uciess who helped guide this study (@randersonjt @VedBhoot and not-on-Twitter Carl Norlen, Mike Goulden, and Shane Coffield) and @UofUBiology for the support! 7/7

Hello there! I'm proud to share a new wildfire paper in ERL - California had recent huge fires but tree loss rose much faster, relatively, than burned area. How much is the per-burned-area impact on tree cover losses rising, and why? Paper: https://t.co/ocG26QHqz6 1/7

Categorical indices of fire severity (e.g. high vs low) are hard to interpret, and might not capture climate trends. Remote sensing advances are revealing this nuance across ecoregions. Hope this can improve wildfires observation, forest management, and ecosystem models! 6/7

Assistant Prof Jon Wang found fire severity increased by 30% between the 1980s and 2010s and total tree cover in #California has decreased by 7% since 1985 due to #wildfires and #drought . @wangathan @uofu_science @UUtah
