@commssustain.nature.comReposted by @commsearth.nature.comTidal marsh vegetation survives extreme storms better than expected, with only ~30% average biomass loss. The findings help predict marsh survival during major storms, reducing uncertainty around nature-based flood protection. 🌍🧪 @natureportfolio.nature.com
@commsearth.nature.com🔥Fire-derived ozone increases carbon losses from the Amazon by about one quarter of direct fire emissions, with damage persisting during extreme drought despite stomatal limitation 🌳

@commsearth.nature.com🌲Drought is perceived as a major threat to European forests, and while professionals prioritize species diversity, broadleaf-conifer mixtures and assisted regeneration, timber price increases may favor maintaining conifers.

@commssustain.nature.comReposted by @commsearth.nature.com🌞Clean energy resources are right above our heads. In Hong Kong, rooftop solar could generate 3.77 TWh of electricity annually and avoid 24.9 billion kg of CO₂ over its lifetime. Most installations could pay back their costs within a few years. 🧪https://www.nature.com/articles/s44458-026-00157-0

@commsearth.nature.comTextural, mineralogical, and chemical analyses of the Jezero crater Margin unit from Perseverance’s SuperCam identify multiple episodes of aqueous alteration driven by early carbon-rich fluids, paleolake/groundwater interaction, and late-stage hydrothermal activity.
@commssustain.nature.comReposted by @commsearth.nature.comA hydropower plant destroyed in Nepal’s August 2026 floods had already failed in a similar event just 14 months earlier, yet was rebuilt on the same site. A Comment argues that governance and financing can lock low-carbon infrastructure into hazardous locations. 🌏🧪
