How plants cope with stress factors has already been broadly researched.

Tiny algae in Earth’s oceans and lakes take in sunlight and carbon dioxide and turn them into sugars that sustain the rest of the aquatic food web, gobbling up about as much carbon as all the world’s trees and plants combined.

Sea ice thickness is inferred by measuring the height of the ice above the water, and this measurement is distorted by snow weighing the ice floe down. 

For birds and other wildlife, winter is a time of resource scarcity. 

Under global warming, tipping elements in the Earth system can destabilize each other and eventually lead to climate domino effects. 

At the upcoming Conference of the Parties (COP26) in November, ample discussion is likely to focus on how the world is not on track to meet the Paris Agreement’s goals of stopping warming at well below 2°C. 

More and more countries are promoting the expansion of wind farms at sea to support the transformation towards a carbon neutral energy production. 

It’s strawberry season in many parts of the U.S, and supermarkets are teeming with these fresh heart-shaped treats.

Global oceans absorb about 25% of the carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere when fossil fuels are burned. 

Experts at the Alfred Wegener Institute have, for the first time, experimentally measured the release of iron from the fecal pellets of krill and salps under natural conditions and tested its bioavailability using a natural community of microalgae in the Southern Ocean.
