Greening of India and revival of the South Asian summer monsoon in a warmer world

Tropical forest markedly expanded between 11.7 and 5 ka and especially between 127 and 120 ka, due to greater monsoon activity mainly driven by insolation forcing, according to analysis of a Bay of Bengal pollen record and model results.

Neural correlates of human fear conditioning and sources of variability in 2199 individuals

A large brain imaging study of over 2000 people worldwide shows that fear conditioning engages brain regions linked to emotion and attention, with differences in individuals with anxiety or depression and strong influences from task design.

Drought legacies delay spring green-up in northern ecosystems

The authors investigate the impacts of drought legacy on springtime leaf unfolding and green-up. They show that drought delays springtime phenology, primarily through exogenous environmental memory effects, and suggest that future spring advances may be dampened by increasing drought.

Contribution of semi-arid ecosystems to interannual variability of the global carbon cycle

The unusually large land carbon sink reported in 2011 can mostly be attributed to semi-arid vegetation growth in the Southern Hemisphere following increased rainfall and long-term greening trends.

Plot-scale evidence of tundra vegetation change and links to recent summer warming

Satellite data suggest that contemporary climate warming has already resulted in increased productivity and shrub biomass over much of the Arctic, but plot-level evidence for vegetation transformation remains sparse. Now research provides plot-scale evidence linking changes in vascular plant abundance to local summer warming in widely dispersed tundra locations across the globe.

Positive rhizosphere priming accelerates carbon release from permafrost soils

Plant root activity increased soil carbon loss by 31%, with rhizosphere priming effects persisting longer in permafrost than active layer soils, indicating greater permafrost carbon vulnerability to microbial decomposition.

A VEL3 histone deacetylase complex establishes a maternal epigenetic state controlling progeny seed dormancy

Mother plants play an important role in determining the dispersal characteristics of their progeny. Here the authors show that a VEL3 histone deacetylase complex establishes a maternal epigenetic state controlling progeny seed dormancy.

Shifts in Arctic vegetation and associated feedbacks under climate change

This study shows that climate change could lead to a major redistribution of vegetation across the Arctic, with important implications for biosphere–atmosphere interactions, as well as for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem services. Woody vegetation is predicted to expand substantially over coming decades, causing more Arctic warming through positive climate feedbacks than previously thought.

Ancestral light and chloroplast regulation form the foundations for C₄ gene expression

C₄ photosynthesis has evolved independently in over 60 plant lineages. This study shows expression of key C₄ enzymes being controlled by light and the chloroplast in C₃ leaves, potentially facilitating repeated evolution of C₄ traits.

Forest vulnerability to drought controlled by bedrock composition

Spatial variability in forest dieback during the severe drought in California between 2011 and 2017 can be explained by variations in bedrock composition and thus weatherability, according to analyses of the drought responses a series of geologically distinct sites.

East Siberian Arctic inland waters emit mostly contemporary carbon

The release of ancient carbon from thawing permafrost is thought to have an important impact on global biogeochemistry through positive feedbacks. Here Dean and colleagues show that in Siberian permafrost, warming could liberate more contemporary carbon relative to aged counterparts.

IM30 triggers membrane fusion in cyanobacteria and chloroplasts

Thylakoid membranes are critical components of chloroplasts and cyanobacteria. Here, Hennig et al. demonstrate that IM30, a conserved chloroplast and cyanobacterial protein, binds to thylakoid membranes and can trigger membrane destabilization and fusion in a Mg2⁺dependent manner.

Arousal increases neural gain via the locus coeruleus–noradrenaline system in younger adults but not in older adults

High arousal enables young people to better detect salient stimuli. In older people, arousal leads to increased processing of all stimuli. This difference can be explained by age-related changes in how the locus coeruleus–noradrenaline system interacts with cortical attention networks.

Nitrous oxide emissions from permafrost-affected soils

Permafrost-affected soils are an unappreciated but potentially substantial source of nitrous oxide, a powerful greenhouse gas. This Review outlines the global importance of nitrous oxide dynamics in permafrost-affected soils, examines what drives nitrous oxide fluxes and discusses the impact of climate change on these greenhouse gas emissions.
