In 2024, the global annual growth rate of atmospheric CO 2 (CGR) surged to a record of 3.73 ppm year −1 —the highest since 1959—exceeding the 1.5°C climate threshold for the first time. However, the drivers behind this unprecedented rise remain poorly understood. Here, we employed a machine‐learning approach integrating satellite‐derived gross primary productivity (GPP) and climatic data to estimate the 2024 land sink (S LAND...

Nitrogen deposition often promotes plant invasions and can arise from multiple sources. However, it remains unclear whether native legumes facilitate invasive plants directly through biotic nitrogen transfer or indirectly via soil microbial mediation. It is also unknown how exogenous nitrogen addition influences these facilitative effects. To address these questions, we combined evidence from a greenhouse experiment and global...
