Future increases in Arctic lightning and fire risk for permafrost carbon

Yang Chen et al.

Summary: The study found a strong positive relationship between summer lightning and CAPE and precipitation in the northern circumpolar regions. Future projections suggest that summer lightning in the Arctic is likely to more than double by the end of the century, with implications for wildfires and carbon release from permafrost.

A global framework for linking alpine-treeline ecotone patterns to underlying processes

Maaike Y. Bader et al.

Summary: Globally, treeline ecotones exhibit diverse spatial patterns, providing valuable information about the processes influencing treeline dynamics. A new framework focuses on hillside-scale patterns and dimensional changes in tree cover, clustering, height, and shape, to better understand demographic processes and growth patterns affecting treelines. Improved recognition of treeline patterns and collaborative research efforts are necessary to advance our understanding of treeline-forming processes and vegetation dynamics in response to climate warming.
