We must get a grip on forest science — before it’s too late p.449

Trees are one of our biggest carbon hopes. Supporting the scientists studying them should be a much higher priority.

Long-lasting HIV prevention drug could be game changer — but who will pay? p.460

Injectable antiviral cabotegravir provides stronger protection than oral pill, but researchers fear it could be too expensive to make a difference for countries with the greatest disease burden.

The early arrival of spring doesn’t boost annual tree growth p.473

Analysis of when and how fast temperate deciduous trees in North America grow suggests that the earlier onset of the growing season induced by climate change does not result in extra carbon sequestration from wood production.

Twisted-graphene model draws inspiration from heavy elements p.474

Electrons in a pure-carbon material display properties that are reminiscent of those in heavy-element compounds. A model inspired by this link hints at how a single-element material can exhibit complex electronic behaviour.

Low phosphorus levels limit carbon capture by Amazonian forests p.476

Understanding the processes that affect carbon storage in tropical forests is crucial for assessing the effects of climate change. An experiment reveals that a nutrient shortfall is hampering such carbon capture.

Evidence at last that the proton has intrinsic charm p.477

An analysis of the distribution of the elementary particles that make up the proton provides evidence that it contains a type of quark known as an intrinsic charm quark — verifying a proposal made four decades ago.

Genetic variants that edit risk of autoimmune diseases p.479

A process called A-to-I RNA editing helps to prevent unwanted immune responses. Associations between genetic variants and this type of RNA editing now provide mechanistic insights into the genetic basis of autoimmune diseases.

Plate tectonics controls ocean oxygen levels p.480

Variations in ocean oxygen levels during Earth’s history have been linked to evolution and mass extinctions. Simulations now suggest that the configuration of the continents has a substantial impact on ocean oxygenation.
