@amybenno.bsky.socialReposted by @forestplots.bsky.socialLogged tropical forests are expected to recover carbon quickly once logging stops. But this is not what we find in central Vietnam:

@forestplots.bsky.socialWe'd like to shine a light on how @universityofleeds.bsky.social and Prof. Beatriz Marimon at #UNEMAT are helping communities to respond to climate crisis in Amazonia.

@amybenno.bsky.socialReposted by @forestplots.bsky.socialNo net carbon recovery in logged tropical forests in central Vietnam iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...
@forestplots.bsky.socialIn Vietnamese logged forests, increasing heat is associated with productivity declines and a lost carbon sink.
@amybenno.bsky.socialReposted by @forestplots.bsky.socialThe recovery rates we observe are significantly lower than widely used reference levels and rates reported in comparable forests.
@forestplots.bsky.socialNot all logged tropical forests recover carbon once logging stops!
In central Vietnam our new analysis led by @amybenno.bsky.social with @domspracklen.bsky.social and colleagues explores why some forests don't behave as the models suggest.

@zekehausfather.comReposted by @forestplots.bsky.social2026 as a whole is now on track to end up roughly tied with 2024 as the warmest year on record in ERA5, at 1.6C above preindustrial. And 2027 waiting in the wings to be quite a bit warmer on the back of a record-setting El Nino event.
