The full climate costs of agriculture including foregone land carbon storage Open
Estimates of the climate costs of agriculture typically do not count lost carbon storage from native vegetation on existing agricultural land. By assigning no climate cost or benefit to activities that increase or decrease demand for agric…

We need biosphere stewardship that protects carbon sinks and builds resilience Open
Earth’s biosphere, its extraordinary and complex web of species and ecosystems on land and in the oceans, drives the life-sustaining cycles of water and other materials that enable all life on Earth to thrive. The biosphere is also a princ…

First process-based simulations of climate change impacts on global tea production indicate large effects in the World’s major producer countries Open
Modeling of climate change impacts have mainly been focused on a small number of annual staple crops that provide most of the world’s calories. Crop models typically do not represent perennial crops despite their high economic, nutritional…
