Timber-production forests are twice less likely to burn as timber plantations: "We find plantations in temperate regions were twice as likely to suffer stand-replacing wildfires than natural production forests, including in vital timber-producing nations like China and Russia. Plantations in tropical regions showed no clear effect". Bousfield et al. (2025). "Global risk of wildfire across timber production systems" https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-025-59272-6 #plantations #forests #wildfires #carbon #GHG #climateChange #emissions #CO2

A global meta-analysis of soil organic carbon in the Anthropocene - Nature Communications

Over 25,000 synthesized experiments identify effective land management practices, such as tree planting and biochar use, that partially mitigate land-use change effects. Yet, indirect climate change effects still pose a potential severe threat to SOC globally

Across 165 countries, the highest GHG emissions from diet are among highly educated urban men aged 15-34. Median is 5.7 kgCO2e/day, against 2.9 for rural women aged 35-54 with low education. In others words, the impact on climate is roughly double in a group with more resources, choice, and agency.

Drying Lakebeds Are Releasing Massive Amounts of #Carbon, Study Finds The #AralSea Has Been Drying Up For 60 Years. New Research Shows It's Also Releasing Massive Amounts of Carbon The study estimates that between 1960 and 2022, the evaporating sea has released 204 megatons of #carbondioxide into the atmosphere, based on site surveys and core samples collected from across the dry lakebed. https://www.sciencealert.com/the-worlds-largest-dried-lakebed-is-leaking-vast-amounts-of-carbon-but-scientists-say-theres-a-solution #climate #climatechange

The Aral Sea Has Been Drying Up For 60 Years. New Research Shows It's Also Releasing Massive Amounts of Carbon

If you've ever walked past a drying lakebed in the peak of summer, you might have noticed some very unpleasant smells emanating from the mud.

The expansion of LNG depends on the support of banks and asset managers who continue to pump unrestricted finance into the sector, with banks providing US$213 billion for LNG expansion between 2021 and 2023. The #report assesses financial flows (project financing and corporate financing) to and investments (bonds and equity) in the 150 largest LNG developers: https://reclaimfinance.org/site/en/2024/12/05/frozen-gas-boiling-planet-how-the-support-of-banks-and-investors-to-lng-fuels-a-climate-disaster/ #LNG #oilAndGas #energy #GHG #exports #emissions #carbon #methane #assets #capacity #commodities #ReclaimFinance

There is a lot of carbon being transferred from the land to the ocean, that has a big effect on how much carbon is stores where (if any). But over the last few decades, that flux has been increasing, often due to anthropogenic activity. Link: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41561-026-02034-w #Carbon #ClimateChange

Rapid changes in global river particulate organic carbon flux - Nature Geoscience

Satellite observations suggest an approximate 20% increase in global riverine particulate organic carbon export to the ocean over the past four decades, driven primarily by tropical deforestation and Arctic permafrost thaw.

An EU plan to tie free pollution permits to investments in decarbonization could enhance corporate accountability, investors said, despite concerns that a broad overhaul may weaken incentives to cut emissions. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2026/07/22/investors-pollution-plan-eu-carbon/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #emissions #carbon #pollution #eu #environment #investments

💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: 🌳🪨 A large-scale field #experiment in #Wales shows that adding crushed volcanic #basalt rock dust to #soil accelerates native woodland growth. The #nature-based method boosted #carbon capture by up to 27% in the first four years, providing an urgent tool for global #climate restoration efforts. 👉 Learn more: https://seethis.tv/post/how-does-magic-basalt-dust-help-plants-grow-faster-and-lock-up-more-carbon #biology #calcium #chemistry #climatechange #conservation #ecology #forest #iron #magnesium #minerals #plants #research #rocks #science #silica #solutions #trees #uk #womeninstem #tksst #video

How does ‘magic’ basalt dust help plants grow faster and lock up more carbon?

In Llandovery, Wales, a large-scale nature research project is proving that there's a way to help trees grow faster and stronger, and store more carbon.
