Elevated carbon dioxide (eCO 2 ) acts as a fertiliser for photosynthesis, driving an increase in gross primary production (GPP). However, it is unclear how effectively increased GPP propagates along the ‘carbon (C) cascade’ to increase net primary production (NPP) and vegetation C stocks ( C veg ) in different plant compartments. Vegetation models were criticised for being overly sensitive to photosynthesis (source‐driven), ne...

Contemporary consumption patterns are intensifying the municipal solid waste (MSW) crisis across the Global South. In urban India, encompassing both major metropolitan areas and more than 4,000 statutory towns, MSW has emerged as a major environmental and development challenge, shaped by long-standing systemic inefficiencies in waste management. In this article, we present a data-driven analysis of post-independence trends in...

Canada's terrestrial ecosystems are critical to the global carbon cycle and are responding to unprecedented climate change and wildfire disturbance. However, our understanding of Canada's historical (~1920—present) carbon cycle is incomplete. There are also no published physically coherent (i.e., those that respect conservation laws) wall‐to‐wall estimates of all major carbon pools and fluxes for Canada. Existing assessments v...

A physically active lifestyle benefits cellular aging, however the mechanisms linking physical activity (PA) with longevity remain unclear. PA is associated with longer telomere length (TL), while shorter TL has been associated with increased cellular aging. Some research suggests increased levels of inflammatory markers, such as C-reactive protein (CRP), are associated with telomere dysfunction. We tested the hypothesis that...
