Very excited to see Jinhyuk Kim's new paper on the contribution of fire to trends in boreal photosynthesis published today in GCB. @wangathan @jin_ekim.
How could wildfire increase photosynthesis in the boreal ecosystem? In our new @GlobalChangeBio paper led by @jin_ekim, plant community changes from evergreen conifer forests to shrubs and deciduous forests in mid-successional stages lead to this.
