What happens when you put a bunch of dead grass out in a rangeland? Our study shows that it creates termites, leading to more critters eating them, demonstrating the importance of dead-vegetation pulses in shaping energy fluxes in desert ecosystems. doi.org/10.1007/s100... #wildoz #rangeland

Termites contribute up to 2% of total annual methane emissions through their farts, but have you ever wondered how accurate that number is and what happens to the methane when they fart in their house? Check out this new paper led by Dr Abbey Yatsko for all the answers: doi.org/10.1111/gcb....
🪵 Diameter drives short-term biomass gains, but long-term carbon storage hinges on wood density, especially in humid forests. To improve accuracy, biomass models should account for radial wood density variation and climate ☁️
