Collapse

I don't know how any of this works so this is going to sound stupid and it probably is, but anecdotally the shrubs and trees in my garden just simply failed to grow this year. They put out the leaves from the over winter buds and then just sat there doing nothing until early September a half-hearted start at some new growth before it got cold again. Very slow year all around in spite of the weather not seeming super different. Probably not the same thing, but in my mind this demonstrates how a nice green landscape might look ok but just not be doing it's job for inscrutable reasons.

with higher temps , it isnt a mystery how. it drives bacteria and fungi metabolic rates and activity they eat carbon and fart it out. plain simple and predicted decades ago
