The world’s most powerful ocean currents could be slow by 2050
Schematic diagram of changes in Southern Ocean Zone transport and changes in links to the ocean and stratification. The change in the water mass is driven by rapid blandness in the Antarctic margin and warming of most water columns in the future. Bright/salination and warming/cooling are indicated by bright/dark green and red/light blue patches, respectively. Arrows indicate transport in RYF…

Bark beetle invasion was found to slow tree growth early
Figure 14 of the metrics obtained from despore data to analyze tree responses to barkkk invasion. Credits: Trees, Forests, People (2025). doi: 10.1016/j.tfp.2025.100777 A recent study from the University of Eastern Finland, published in Trees, Forests and People, bark has already begun to dry out before visible signs appear. A team of researchers led by Dr. Samuli Juntila, an associate…

Planting trees in high Arctic latitudes could accelerate rather than slow global warming, scientists say
Direct and indirect effects of afforestation on climate forcing at high latitudes and their relative magnitude over the life of the plantation. a, Plantation establishment disrupts previously intact soils and increases microbial carbon decomposition (1). This is exacerbated by enhanced soil insulation caused by increased snow entrapment and decreased snow cover (2). Growing trees exude carbon from their roots, accelerating…

Credit: Daniel Winkler – Mushroaming New research into a chemical produced by a caterpillar fungus that holds promise as a potential cancer treatment reveals how it interacts with genes and blocks cell growth signals. This discovery is an important step toward developing new drugs that…
