Ett forskarlag från Penn State har för första gången observerat träd som avger ett svagt elektriskt sken, så kallade korladdningar, under åskväder. Upptäckten, som gjordes i North Carolina, bekräftar ett fenomen som länge varit teoretiserat men aldrig tidigare skådats utanför laboratoriemiljö. Dessa sken kan bidra till luftrening genom att producera hydroxylradikaler.
The National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES) announced a record R$7 billion investment in Brazilian forests since 2023, at the COP30 Leaders Summit in Belém.
