- Reposted by Xavier De LamoGood morning. Today in "One day, one paper", tropical deforestation from 2001–2020 caused 0.27 °C local warming, exposing 345 million people and leading to 28,000 annual heat-related deaths. Southeast Asia, Africa, and the Americas are most affected, highlighting climate-linked health risks 🌎
- Reposted by Xavier De Lamowww.nature.com/articles/s41... How climate change and deforestation interact in the transformation of the Amazon rainforest: “…Over the past 35 yrs, deforestation has accounted for approximately 74% of the ~ 21 mm dry season−1 decline and 16.5% of the 2°C rise in max surface air temp.”

- Reposted by Xavier De LamoOur new study shows how animal biodiversity loss is a climate problem: tropical forests recover far less carbon where seed dispersers have declined. We’re not just losing forests – we’re losing their ability to regrow. Reversing that trend could align biodiversity recovery with climate solutions.🧵

- Reposted by Xavier De LamoResearchers in Costa Rica found that pig carcasses decomposed twice as fast when vultures had access to them. The absence of vultures led to a doubling of fly populations at carcass sites, which could affect human health, since these flies can carry diseases like botulism and anthrax.
