The large uncertainty in land carbon-cycle estimates remains a major challenge. Here, the authors show that vegetation biogeography drives much of this uncertainty, with 75% of the uncertainty reducible using existing biogeography map from remote sensing.

Indonesia is the world 3rd largest coffee producer, with fast expanding coffee planting area. But we know little about the traits of coffee plants and how regional carbon cycle is affected. First of a series of work on coffee led by the great @tinsatriawan.bsky.social who does not drink coffee!
Frontiers | Characterizing the plant functional traits of coffee agroecosystems in Indonesia
Indonesia, the world’s third-largest coffee producer, is rapidly expanding coffee agroecosystems, often at the expense of deforestation. Understanding the ec...

Many places on earth are greening, why not Southeast Asia? An interesting study led by Ruiying suggested the positive impact from elevated CO2 on greenness was almost offset by cropland (excl. oil palm) expansion, using a ML approach! Going to present it at #AGU24! bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/...
