Just a note because I had misunderstood it first:
"Our analysis shows an increase in CH4-uptake of 3% *per year* on average."
Finally, not so bad news! I mean, it still shows that ecosystems are massively affected by climate change, but since until now almost all feedbacks loops we discovered were positive (=self-enhancing, like thawing permafrost reinforcing climate change).
Before opening a bottle of champagne (or a cup of teas, whatever you like): Not sure how this decrease in soil methane emissions stands in comparison with stuff like reduced plant growth because of changing weather and changes in soil organic matter dynamics (i. e. increased mineralization).
Has anybody numbers/estimates at hand for comparison?

Imagine a world where open source teacher/demonstration hubs collaborate with one another, sharing ideas, resources, networking, and working together to heal the planet and transform the global lifestyle to a more enjoyable, fulfilling, healthy, and sustainable one. One Community is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization creating this because it will positively impact every living thing, begin regenerating all aspects of our ecosystem, provide more time/resources for all people, and ultimately transition humanity to a new Golden Age of cooperation for all.

Constraining the effect of global change on antifungal resistance
Written with current & former postdocs Wei, Guanghui and Changchao.

Antifungal resistance is a growing crisis affecting human health and agriculture that could be accelerated by global change. We call for a One Health research agenda to systematically investigate environmental drivers and inform policy to mitigate the potential of global environmental change in fuelling antifungal resistance.

Main and interactive effects of ozone and other #ClimateFactors on plant #GasExchange, biomass production and allocation: A global meta-analysis

Abstract. Elevated ground-level ozone (O3) is known to inhibit plant growth and development, but its interactive effects with other climate factors, such a
