Happy International Women's Day to all women in geoscience🀍✨ !

At #EGU, we celebrate and recognise your dedication as researchers, educators, volunteers, leaders, and more.

Keep up the great workπŸ™Œ!

We mourn the passing of our Editor-in-Chief Steve Long.

His vision to establish one of the first journals dedicated to Global Change over 30 years ago was truly ahead of its time. Through GCB, researchers have demonstrated that biology and ecosystems are not simply victims of global change..

Did you know that nearly 800 billion fish and invertebrates depend on mangroves every year?
On this International Day for Mangrove Conservation, it's time for action to protect these amazing ecosystems.

Preprint with @lucascernusak.bsky.social, @florianabusch.bsky.social and Graham Farquhar!

We show that mesophyll cell water status is the key signal regulating non-stomatal control of transpiration. We introduce a mechanistic model linking plant hydraulics and gas exchange.
