Tree planting had an overall minimal effect on soil fauna communities across multiple former ecosystem types at the global scale, but for a specific former ecosystem type (such as deserts), the impact on reforestation of former forested sites and former non-forested lands may vary.

#Warming🌡️ & #Grazing🌱 ➡️ resource allocation strategies in #AlpineGrasslands

Place: Tibetan Plateau

Method: #meta_analysis

Results:
1️⃣ The aboveground and belowground growth relationship follows the allometric growth hypothesis;
2️⃣ Warming & grazing ➡️ soil properties.

I really enjoyed working with Anne and Alex on this piece about #chemical #recycling for @ConversationUS

our take-home messages are that a) a recent #meta_analysis concludes plastic-to-#plastic chemical recycling can have a climate benefit, but plastic-to-energy doesn't
b) most #pyrolysis #oil is destined for transportation fuel, &
c) the plastic waste stream is too complex & contaminated for most #chemicalrecycling so most plants don't reach capacity

Making fuels from plastics in Newaygo, Michigan, would be controversial – here’s why

A proposed chemical recycling plant in western Michigan may provide a handful of jobs but little environmental benefit.
