Forests’ Carbon Mitigation Role Threatened by Triple Risk - Study
Forests exist in a delicate balance with climate change - sucking carbon dioxide out of the air and hosting biodiversity, as long as droughts, wildfires and ecosystem shifts do not kill them first, a new study reveals.
Tropical Insects Are Extremely Sensitive to Changing Climates
Insects that are adapted to perennially wet environments, like tropical rainforests, don’t tend to do well when their surroundings dry out.
Growing Thyme Among Almond Trees Increases the Productivity of the Land and Mitigates Climate Change
The introduction of perennial crops in the alleys of rain-fed Mediterranean almond trees reduces the emission of greenhouse gases, according to the latest study by the Diverfarming project.
Study Unearths Ancient Reef Structure High and Dry on the Nullarbor Plain
Research author Dr Milo Barham, from the Timescales of Mineral Systems Group within Curtin’s School of Earth and Planetary Sciences said the finding further challenged the understanding that the Nullarbor Plain, which emerged from the ocean about 14 million years ago, was essentially flat and featureless.
Air Pollution May Spur Irregular Heart Rhythms in Healthy Teens
Breathing particulate matter (i.e., tiny particles suspended in the air) air pollution may trigger irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias) in healthy teenagers, according to new research published today in the Journal of the American Heart Association, an open access, peer-reviewed journal of the American Heart Association.
