Keskinen, U. Proske, U. Proske, U. Proske, J. Duplissy, J. Duplissy, M. Kulmala, T. Petäjä, O. Möhler, B. J. Murray

“…Boreal forests are known as sources of bioaerosol, and recent work indicates that these dominate the INP spectra above <span class="inline-formula">−</span>24 <span class="inline-formula">°C</span>. To quantify the INP population at temperatures below <span class="inline-formula">−</span>24 <span class="inline-formula">°C</span>, we deployed a portable cloud expansion chamber (PINE) in a Finnish boreal forest from 13 March 2018 to 11 May 2018. …”

Considerations for determining warm-water coral reef tipping points by P. Pearce-Kelly, A. H. Altieri, J. F. Bruno, C. E. Cornwall, M. McField, A. I. Muñiz-Castillo, J. Rocha, R. O. Setter, C. Sheppard, R. M. Roman-Cuesta, C. Yesson

“…Considering observed and projected stressor impacts, we endorse the global tipping point revision's conclusion of a global mean surface temperature (relative to pre-industrial) tipping point threshold of 1.2 <span class="inline-formula">°C</span> (range 1–1.5 <span class="inline-formula">°C</span>) and the long-term impacts of atmospheric <span class="inline-formula">CO₂</span> concentrations above 350 ppm, while acknowledging that comprehensive assessment of stressors, including ocean warming response dynamics, overshoot, and cascading impacts, have yet to be sufficiently realised. …”
