Deforestation Drives Climate Change That Harms Remaining Forest
In a paper published today in Nature Communications, a team led by scientists from the University of California, Irvine, using climate models and satellite data, reveal for the first time how protecting tropical forests can yield climate benefits that enhance carbon storage in nearby areas.
University of Sheffield Study Shows Potential to Reduce Reliance on Non-renewable Fertilizers in Agriculture
An enzyme that can help release phosphorus from its organic forms has been identified in a study from the University of Sheffield’s Institute for Sustainable Food, published in leading science journal PNAS.
Climate Change Will Reshuffle Marine Ecosystems in Unexpected Ways, Rutgers Study Finds
Warming of the oceans due to climate change will mean fewer productive fish species to catch in the future, according to a new Rutgers study that found as temperatures warm, predator-prey interactions will prevent species from keeping up with the conditions where they could thrive.
Study: Climatic Variability Might Not Drive Evolutionary Change As Much As Previously Thought
A new study combining climate data with fossil records of large mammals that lived across Africa during the last 4 million years casts doubt on a long-standing hypothesis that repeated shifts in climate acted as major drivers of evolutionary change in mammals, including human ancestors.
At a Melting Glacier, a Landslide, Then Tsunami, Signal Climate-Related Threat
In 2020, seismologist Göran Ekström noticed a peculiar wiggle picked up on Nov. 28 by seismographs around the world.
