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

Fall colors arenβt just beautiful β theyβre 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 science.org/doi/10.1126/sciaβ¦

More CA state forests are vulnerable to wildfire due to climate change, with recent fires so big and intense that forests canβt keep up.

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

Over the past year, we have been working hard to develop a burned area product specificaly for circumpolar boreal forests and tundra. I'm happy to report that this product, ie Arctic Boreal Annual Burned Area (ABBA) V2, has been officially released.

This week I resigned from the @Forests_MDPI editorial board. Reason is the @MDPIOpenAccess guidelines for editors allow the publisher to make decisions that belong to the academic editor. That's a breach of the #PeerReview process. Please chime in if you are an academic editor.
