Cities need robust carbon dioxide removal strategies to meet net-zero targets

Leading European cities race to reach net-zero emissions, but residual emissions are tied to easier-to-abate sectors and temporary, land-intensive carbon removal for compensation. To...

Reforestation dominated China’s forest carbon sink from 1986 to 2019

Reforestation on previously forested areas after disturbances exhibits higher post-disturbance carbon sequestration than afforestation on previously unforested land, and has dominated China’s forest carbon...

Diversity, biogeography and assembly mechanisms of groundwater microbiomes

Groundwater hosts a vast array of microbiomes that are essential to global water quality and ecosystem function. This Review discusses the diversity, biogeography and...

Moss biocrusts sustain snowpack and soil function in cold deserts

Long-term soil biogeochemical measurements in a cold desert in China suggest that moss biocrusts can substantially extend snow cover duration and increase snow depth...

Hydraulic traits govern opposing range shifts of montane trees under warming

The authors integrate dendrochronological records with range shifts to show that shifts in montane tree species are tightly linked to tree hydraulic properties. While...
