I believe academic boycotts are antithetical to the spirit and purpose of the academy, and undermine academic freedom everywhere. Do you? Check out this open statement of opposition now signed by over 2,000 academics, and consider signing it yourself:

I love this new study from Katharina Jentzsch et al. in Biogeosciences. They help unpack why we see distinct methane driver responses in spring and fall seasons in flux data. 'Shoulder season controls on methane emissions from a boreal peatland'
bg.copernicus.org
Abstract. Cold-season emissions substantially contribute to the annual methane budget of northern wetlands, yet they remain underestimated by process-based models. Models show significant uncertainty...

Our new wetland methane study, led by Qing Zhu and Kunxiaojia Yuan at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab., shows a robust decadal increase (+8.9%) in Boreal-Arctic emissions over the last 20 years, driven by early summer warming. https://t.co/0dlrZRrDhy

Can someone explain to me what ecosystem and/or soil microbial "memory" is? I'm seeing this concept appear in major ecology pubs but I am not sure what it means. I tried replacing the word memory with "things we don't understand", and the sentences in those pubs work fine.

Excited to share that our global wetland methane upscaling paper and dataset is now published in @AguAdvances and summarized in @AGU_Eos! Many thanks to the FLUXNET-CH4 data contributors and many scientific collaborators on this project. Too many to name here! #upch4
Scientists used data from 43 wetland sites to estimate total methane emissions from wetlands worldwide. https://t.co/MIG0Y7rq57
