The latest mangrove #BlueCarbon cycle analysis and synthesis is out.

Among many things, it includes the first global analysis of eddy covariance flux data from mangrove sites.

Fernanda Adame led the way and many other scientists contributed.

Conservation science is interdisciplinary & collaborative. A great part is stepping back & admiring the sheer talent of your coauthors. Fun to watch Drs Nelson, Ward, & Linden turn our chats into Bayesian code. Statistical alchemy!

Should the Northeast harvest more timber for biomass energy? An Ecosphere analysis coauthored by Cary's Charles Canham finds higher harvests would increase overall GHG emissions by reducing carbon storage more than it displaces fossil fuel emissions.  esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.100…
