Just published this new paper, with a bunch of fantastic colleagues, with many suggestions for "Improving the representation of plant water stress and water use in Earth System Models." Access is free online. We have some great figures, thanks to Victor Leshyk. 🧪🌐🌳🌎

Did climate change contribute to the LA wildfires?

Yes

"human-induced warming from burning fossil fuels made the peak January Fire Weather Index more intense, with an estimated 6% increase in intensity, and 35% more probable"

Some 6 years after this paper was conceived, many online workshops, long discussions and a really community effort right to the end, it is now out in @newphyt.bsky.social Of course this talks the talk, but there is a road still to walk :-)

How do leaf carbohydrate dynamics relate to the leaf economic spectrum and what does this mean for modelling the terrestrial biosphere?

Find out by reading Asao et al 2024 and the recently published commentary by @docaharper.bsky.social and myself in @newphyt.bsky.social
