Climate change strongly affects future fire weather danger in Indian forests

December 2023
Anasuya Barik, Somnath Baidya Roy
Nature Communications Earth & Environment
This peer-reviewed study quantifies the impact of such changes on the fire weather of Indian forests and finds that fire risk increases in dry climate forests but may be reduced in humid forests, suggesting the importance of regional mitigation.Read More →

Climate extremes disrupt fungal–bacterial interactions

November 2023
Jingjing Shi, Madhav P. Thakur
Nature Microbiology
In this comment, the authors argue that interactions between soil fungi and bacteria may be crucial to understanding the ways that soil microbiomes change in response to climate extremes.Read More →

Climate warming and elevated CO2 alter peatland soil carbon sources and stability

November 2023
Nicholas O. E. Ofiti, Michael W. I. Schmidt, Samuel Abiven, Paul J. Hanson, Colleen M. Iversen, Rachel M. Wilson, Joel E. Kostka, Guido L. B. Wiesenberg, Avni Malhotra
Nature Communications
This peer-reviewed study examines the impact of warming and elevated atmospheric CO2 on the molecular composition of soil organic carbon. The authors' results indicate that climate change may destabilize carbon storage in peatlands.Read More →

Acidification of Northeastern USA Lakes From Rising Anthropogenic-Sourced Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide and Its Effects on Aluminum Speciation

November 2023
Karen H. Johannesson, Jaxon Dii Horne, Anant Misra, Catherine Aliperta, Orpheus V. Meletis, Robert C. Santore, Christopher D. White, Georgia Mavrommati, David J. Burdige
Geophysical Research Letters
This peer-reviewed study assesses how rising atmospheric CO2 will impact terrestrial freshwaters such as lakes and streams, and finds that acidification of lakes in the northeastern USA could be of similar magnitude to ocean acidification.Read More →

Extratropical forests increasingly at risk due to lightning fires

November 2023
Thomas A. J. Janssen, Matthew W. Jones, Declan Finney, Guido R. van der Werf, Dave van Wees, Wenxuan Xu, Sander Veraverbeke
Nature Geoscience
In this peer-reviewed study, the authors examine fire ignition, and show that 77% of the burned area in extratropical forests stems from lightning. These areas are expected to experience between 11 and 31% more lightning per degree of warming.Read More →
