Over a quarter of the world’s land could become significantly drier if global warming reaches 2ºC - according to new research from an international team including the University of East Anglia.

Researchers discover higher environmental impact from cookstove emissions
Cookstoves are a central part of millions of homes throughout Asia: families often use readily available and cheap biofuels — such as crop chaff or dung — to prepare the food needed to survive.
Standardizing perovskite aging measurements
Perovskite solar cells are an alternative to conventional silicon solar cells, and are poised to overtake the market with their high power-conversion efficiencies (over 22% now) and lower capital expenditure and manufacturing costs. But one of the greatest obstacles on this road is stability: to be commercially viable, perovskite solar cells must also be able to maintain their efficiency over time, meaning that they must not degrade significantly over 25 years of service.
Krill behaviour takes carbon to the ocean depths
A new study shows that Antarctic krill behave in a way that could accelerate the transport of atmospheric carbon to the deep ocean.
Scientists call for action to tackle the threat of invasive tree species to a global biodiversity hotspot
An invasive Australian tree is now posing a serious threat to a global diversity ‘hotspot’ according to new collaborative research between Landcare Research in New Zealand, the Universities of Cambridge (UK) Denver (US) and Bangor University (UK).
Frenar el cambio climático
Los seres humanos pueden ser la causa principal del aumento de la temperatura global, pero también pueden ser un factor crucial para ayudar a reducirla, según un nuevo estudio que, por primera vez, construye un nuevo modelo para medir los efectos del comportamiento sobre el clima.
