Delay to rainy season in forest already damaged by human-driven heating could trigger powerful ‘Godzilla’ El NiñoAs a supercharged climate scorches Europe with wildfire and deluges Asia with floods, the Amazon is bracing for a drought that strikes fear into the hearts of forest defenders and food producers alike. But it should worry even more of us.Scientists are predicting that the peak of El Niño will occur at the worst possible time for the world’s biggest tropical rainforest: the end of the dry season between October and December, when rivers are at their lowest and undergrowth is most likely to be tinder dry. This will be a period of extreme vulnerability for the forest, which plays a globally important role in stabilising the climate and irrigating crops. Continue reading…

Study of 56m-year-old leaves counters claims from Trump administration members of ‘benefits’ of fossil fuel pollutionAdding huge quantities of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere is set to cause the Earth’s forests to wither and die rather than flourish, according to a new study that counters erroneous claims that fossil fuel pollution will green the planet.An analysis of fossilized leaf cells from a period known as the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (or PETM), which occurred about 56m years ago, has helped reconstruct how the world’s forests responded when planet-heating gases were previously being released at a rapid rate.

From spiders tuning their silken listening tools, to the beetle’s heady perfume, hundreds of conversations are happening in languages we don’t understandIt’s invertebrate of the year – vote for your favouriteAll around us, every day, hundreds of conversations are taking place in languages we don’t understand, or even, in most cases, notice. Birdsong is one you would probably recognise, and you may have heard of honeybee “waggle dances”. But what about the spider tuning their web to listen for prey, or a waft of arousing perfumes emitted by a passing beetle? At any moment you may be walking right through a whole critical dialogue – and have absolutely no idea.To delve into the world of invertebrate communication about food gathering, coordinating nest building, defending a territory, attracting a mate, and babycare is to realise just how smart and sophisticated they are. Spiders, for example, can “hear” vibrations on the silken strands of their web using sensors on their legs. With their legs and body weight, the spiders will adjust the silk strings, as we would a guitar string, to change its pitch, pulling, loosening or reconnecting strands to adjust how it sounds. In fine-tuning the silk they can know just who is walking on it – a possible mate to woo, a fly for feasting on or maybe a larger bug on the lookout for prey. Continue reading…

Tree care is one of the most hazardous industries in the country, and insurance carriers price it accordingly.

Martin Sullivan and Lorraine Du Feu respond to a recent letter suggesting that we should focus on planting non-native species that can tolerate extreme heatRichard Eltringham (Letters, 5 August) argues that climate change necessitates switching to a planting palette of drought-tolerant non-native species. It’s not as simple as that. Horticulturists focus on the value of non-native plants for pollinators, but other ecological interactions (for example, food plants for insect larvae) are harder to replace. Native oaks support 2,300 other species; drought-adapted non-natives can’t substitute for all these interactions.Our native species themselves aren’t tied to a preindustrial climate; there is evidence of rapid microevolutionary changes in oaks in response to recent climate change, so those crisping saplings might be part of selection for drought adaptation. Alternative planting palettes don’t offer a panacea – Mediterranean landscapes are rather brown in summer precisely because of plants’ adaptations to hot and dry conditions, while our dull, wet winters adeptly kill many drought-tolerant species.

10 August 1976: The fire roared skywards and after three centuries, the tree was enduring its final experienceSUSSEX: The sweet chestnut tree stood alone at the centre of the field, the one visual break in the sweep of cut corn. Its gnarled trunk, more than 25ft round, recalled the droughts and storms of more than 300 years. It was the last survivor of the parkland landscape that covered the area before the days of high farming, the last leviathan on the clay plain of Halland. Around it the barley stubble smouldered.Sparks fanned by the south wind blew into grooves in the trunk igniting the dry bark. They grew quickly into flames licking into the hollow interior which drew them upwards like a chimney. Twigs broke and fell, fuelling the flames. The fire roared skywards even penetrating the hollow side branches until the burning tree looked as if it were holding flaming torches, pathetic as a November Guy. Continue reading…
