A whole-system functional analysis of tree species is required to achieve climate-adaptive forests and a climate-adaptive building industry, according to a study published in PNAS Nexus.
are key change agents in forest ecosystems. Peter Osborne and colleagues studied the impact climate change and resilient forest management practices will have on the wood construction industry and how builders could adapt their practices to changing forest compositions.
according to their ecological traits and building traits suitable for wood across various construction applications.The authors found that many softwood species currently used in construction are not well adapted to a changing climate, while hardwood species such as tamarack , red maple , oaks , and elm could help make the regions' forests more resilient.

Examining the entrainment rate of shallow cumulus clouds and its influencing factorsClouds are not only a mesmerizing spectacle in the sky but also a crucial player in Earth's atmospheric dynamics. Among the many types of clouds, cumulus clouds stand out because of their pivotal role in regulating weather patterns and climate. One of the fundamental processes that shape the development of cumulus clouds is entrainment mixing, where surrounding air interacts with the cloud, influencing its growth and properties.
