Ancient birch DNA & bacterial lipids in Icelandic lake sediments reveal how shrub ranges expanded as temps rose. The local findings help predict how shrubs will expand across many high latitude areas with future warming, a change that lowers albedo & amplifies warming www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Satellites may be missing the most extreme phytoplankton events in our oceans. New research from Clow, Lovenduski, Mogen, & their partners simulates satellite observations within an Earth system model to reveal a fuller picture of the base of the marine food web. www.colorado.edu/asmagazine/2...
