Study Shows Wetter Climate Is Likely to Intensify Global Warming
A study in today's issue of Nature indicates the increase in rainfall forecast by global climate models is likely to hasten the release of carbon dioxide from tropical soils, further intensifying global warming by adding to human emissions of this greenhouse gas into Earth’s atmosphere.
Severe Coral Loss Leaves Reefs With Larger Fish but Low Energy Turnover
Research on the Great Barrier Reef has found severe coral loss to be associated with substantial increases in the size of large, long-living herbivorous fish.
Mutations in SARS-CoV-2 Offer Insights Into Virus Evolution
By analysing virus genomes from over 7,500 people infected with Covid-19, a UCL-led research team has characterised patterns of diversity of SARS-CoV-2 virus genome, offering clues to direct drugs and vaccine targets.
