Nature Climate Change, Published online: 06 September 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02126-8 Drying groundwater   

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 03 September 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02117-9 Night-time activities substantially impact climate change yet remain widely overlooked in climate research and action. We advocate for incorporating night studies into discussions surrounding climate socio-ecological dynamics to develop equitable and effective adaptation and mitigation strategies, especially in cities.   

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 29 August 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02113-z Increases in crop and timber production are necessary to meet rising needs. Here the authors predict how current forestry land is likely to face increased competition from agriculture as climate change shifts land-use suitability.   

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 27 August 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02133-9 Addendum: Reduced Arctic Ocean CO2 uptake due to coastal permafrost erosion   

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 27 August 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02132-w Author Correction: Feasibility of peak temperature targets in light of institutional constraints   

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 23 August 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02095-y Machine learning methods allow for advances in many aspects of climate research. In this Perspective, the authors give an overview of recent progress and remaining challenges to harvest the full potential of machine learning methods.   

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 21 August 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02092-1 The decarbonization of energy systems needs to be integrated with electric grid infrastructure, yet combined climate–grid studies are lacking. This Perspective discusses electric grid research that should be prioritized, and how researchers from different communities could better collaborate.   

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 21 August 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02093-0 The authors link a recent collapse of a commercially valuable snow crab stock to borealization of the Bering Sea that is >98% likely to have been human induced.   

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 20 August 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02106-y Large animal conservation and rewilding are increasingly considered to be viable climate mitigation strategies. We argue that overstating animal roles in carbon capture may hinder, rather than facilitate, effective climate mitigation and conservation efforts.   

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 19 August 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02110-2 Brazil’s coastline under attack   

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 15 August 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02102-2 The authors demonstrate that integrating phenology data with evolutionary relationships can improve predictions of change. They show how including phylogenetic structure in plant responses to temperature produces better estimates and reveals markedly different responses across species.   

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 15 August 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02101-3 The authors investigate the carbon storage response of wetland drainage in the context of rate-limiting phenol oxidase activity. They show divergent responses to short- and long-term drainage in Sphagnum versus non-Sphagnum wetlands determined by plant traits and plant–microbe interactions.   

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 13 August 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02084-1 Food choices greatly affect global GHG emissions, but the contributions of different groups, across or within countries, are highly unequal. Adopting the global planetary health diet could yield co-benefits by reducing both emissions and inequality among populations.   

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 12 August 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02089-w The erosion of melting permafrost in the coastal Arctic Ocean is projected to lower the ocean’s capacity to absorb carbon dioxide, triggering unexpected carbon–climate feedbacks in the Arctic region.   

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 12 August 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02074-3 The rate of Arctic coastal permafrost erosion is predicted to increase up to 3 times by 2100. Here the authors model how organic matter released from coastal permafrost erosion will reduce the CO2 sink capacity of the Arctic Ocean and lead to positive feedbacks on climate.   

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 12 August 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02107-x Caution in the use of populism to describe distributional considerations of climate policy   

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 12 August 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02100-4 A free-air CO2 enrichment experiment exposed a 180-year-old oak forest in central England to elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations for 7 years. Increases in wood production and net primary productivity were observed in response to this CO2 enrichment, contrary to expectations that such responses are limited to…
