Vulnerability of mineral-associated soil organic carbon to climate across global drylands
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 30 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02087-y
Protection afforded by inorganic minerals is assumed to make mineral-associated organic carbon less susceptible to loss under climate change than particulate organic carbon. However, a global study of soil organic carbon from drylands suggests that this is not the case.

As the Rio Grande runs dry, South Texas cities look to alternatives for water
The Rio Grande is no longer a reliable source of water for South Texas.
That’s the sobering conclusion Rio Grande Valley officials are facing as water levels at the international reservoirs that feed into the river remain dangerously low — and a hurricane that could have quenched the area’s thirst turned away from the region as it neared the Texas coast.
Although a high number of storms are forecast this hurricane season, relief is far from guaranteed as the drought drags on.
For now, the state’s most southern cities have enough drinking water for residents. However, the region’s agricultural roots created a system that could jeopardize that supply. Cities here are set up to depend on irrigation districts, which supply untreated waters to farmers, to deliver water that will eventually go to residents. This setup has meant that as river …
Tree movements promote carbon sink
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 25 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02059-2
Climate change threatens the role of forests as long-term carbon sinks. Tree planting programmes that incorporate assisted migration of tree species and seed sources can help to mitigate this impact.

Enhanced policy adequacy facilitates national climate adaptation tracking across Africa
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 19 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02055-6
Inadequate information in national adaptation policies limits the ability to track national adaptation progress in Africa. Enhancing coverage, consistency and robustness of these policies offers a clear path to establish effective, nationally led adaptation-tracking infrastructure.
