#DYK that hidden beneath the waves of UK seas were once oyster reefs covering an area the size of Ireland?
Habitat loss & pollution led to a 95% decline in stocks. But restoration projects are bringing these biogenic ocean habitats back from the brink 🦪

Ngl, when the social worker at the hospital told me that they got all of their food service from Morton's Gourmet Market (think $60 "biogenic" watermelons), I immediately knew that this place was WELL outside of what his insurance would care to cover. Good. Let's see what we can do for Beeb now.

New Zealand pledges to reduce biogenic methane emissions by 2050 reut.rs/3J925cz
New Zealand pledges to reduce biogenic methane emissions by 2050
New Zealand on Sunday pledged to cut biogenic methane emissions by up to 24% from 2017 levels by 2050, which its conservative government said would protect the agriculture sector and meet the country's climate commitments.

We've written a blog about our new paper! 🔎If you want to find out about net-zero aligned afforestation in the UK and how this might impact future biogenic emissions in a warmer climate, check out the summary blog @leedsleaf.bsky.social🌳☁️🌍
Increasing woodland cover to 19% to help reach net-zero could change the biogenic emissions from UK woodlands. @treeswithhazel.bsky.social’s latest research shows the potential scale of change by 2050 associated with different tree species mixes.

New paper on what drives organic aerosol in NY - anthropogenic chemicals have emerged as 2x traffic sources, while wildfire smoke is persistent and substantial - and we see evidence that it enhances biogenic SOA.
Out this week in npj Climate and Atmospheric Science: VCPs, biogenic VOCs and traditional anthropogenic PM respond to heat and smoke to drive summer PM pollution outside NYC, highlighting vulnerabilities of urban air quality under global change. @chemdelphine.bsky.social @dbm.bsky.social

🧵thanks for reading.
Did I mention that the biogenic carbon in this chest was stored for almost 300 years and it's not getting released any time soon?
It's because it was beautifully made, useful, repairable and designed to withstand the conditions. Air can circulate around or you cant open it.(!)

"A cumulative maximum biogenic carbon stock of 300–400 Mt. CO₂ [stored in new and retrofitted buildings] is projected in the long-term, surpassing Switzerland's expected cumulative net emissions removals by 2050 by 6 times"

Potential for biogenic carbon storage towards a net-zero built environment in Switzerland
The built environment is a major contributor to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, posing challenges for achieving net-zero targets by 2050. This …

as Simon Cole shows in this classic & fun article, the biogenic theory of oil was still controversial enough even in the 1990s to underwrite quite expensive attempts to provide evidence for abiogenic theory:

But it turns out the "formed by geologic process" part of the definition comes into play, according to the International Mineral Association - if crystallization is occurring within a living cell, it doesn't count.
