Just learned about 10° July isotherm:
Climatically, the #Arctic can be delimited by the #10CJulyIsotherm: an imaginary line north of which, even in the warmest month of the year, the multi-year average monthly temperature is below 10ºC. Incidentally, the July isotherm coincides relatively well with the #treeline. According to this, the Arctic would be about 20 million square kilometers.

I was not sure what I’d ‘get’ because it was pretty dark and wind. My main hope was that I wasn’t gonna get rained on. I started the morning with some ICM shots. I really enjoy playing around with some ICM compositions as the sky is just starting to brighten.
"When #nature is allowed off the leash to be fully functioning, it can have an awe-inspiring resilience. These powers of nature shouldn't be underestimated."
#Reindeer can help slow or stop the 130 foot per year retreat of the #TreeLine caused by #ClimateChange.
#Rewilding and #ecosystem restoration are key to a successful Everything, Everywhere, All at Once #climate strategy.
#Treeline #trees are often prone to #hydraulic limitation. Growth limitation from hydraulic failure at higher altitude trees might be reduced when #climate is #warming, and the growing environment at timberlines might become improved. This means that from a hydraulic perspective the is no limitations for treelines to move upwards, and trees can thus increase their #distribution in that direction: https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/1365-2435.14408?saml_referrer
