Yong Bao et al. investigated soil dissolved organic matter content, spectroscopic characteristics, molecular traits and their potential drivers in the Hengduan Mountains.

Forest types & elevation ➡️ #SoilDissolvedOrganicMatter (DOM) dynamics

Results:
#LitterTraits and soil properties are the predominant regulators of soil DOM mechanism along elevational gradient

How may we understand past #climates when both #models and observations are steeped in uncertainty?

This #webinar, together with Ruza Ivanovic and Quentin Dalaiden, will explore methodological approaches—from embracing ambiguity in modelling to integrating diverse evidence through data assimilation—to reconstruct the dynamical history of Earth's climate.

I'm excited to support Habitat 2, an optimistic SFF short story collection with *gorgeous* art, on Kickstarter!

I see more people looking for(& creating)these stories every day and it gives me hope.

Brought out from a discussion elsenet: would Earth now be warm enough to support large, #nonavian #dinosaurs today? This is a fair question, because as bad as global warming is—and it's going to get worse—we're still nowhere near the hottest times of the #Mesozoic.

The answer is, it was *generally* warmer than the present day, but #global #temperatures went up and down considerably, as you'd expect over such a long stretch of time—about 175 million years from the first dinosaurs to the #Chicxulub impact. Dinosaurs as a #clade did fine the whole way through, although of course with plenty of various groups dying out in the meantime.

Also, the planet has always had warmer and cooler regions. Many large dinosaurs lived comfortably in polar regions that had #climates comparable to the cooler parts of the temperate zones today. The idea that non-avian dinosaurs exclusively inhabited steaming jungles or baking deserts has been embedded by generations of paleoart, but it's just wrong. If the impact hadn't happened, they'd still be thriving.

That being said, #sauropods in particular seemed to prefer warmer environments, so their range might be a lot more limited now than it was then, and it's possible the ice age(s) would have finished them off. Other famous giants like #tyrannosaurs, #ceratopsians, and #hadrosaurs would still be widespread, and smaller ones like #dromaeosaurs ("raptors") would be as numerous as coyotes and wildcats are in our world.
