Heat Waves: A Growing Threat to Society and the Environment
With heat waves expected to worsen in the 21st century it is essential to take stock of our current understanding, knowledge gaps, and to set research priorities.
Taking the Pulse of Global Change with World Heritage Data Sets
Applying World Heritage status to highly valuable environmental records would spotlight the vital insights they provide into how Earth is changing and would ensure their longevity and accessibility.
Para el 2100 la producción de alimentos podría contribuir con 1°C al calentamiento global
Un nuevo estudio separa las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero provenientes de la agricultura, mostrando cómo lo que comemos calienta el planeta.
The Greenhouse Gas Burden of Inland Waters
A global collaboration inventoried greenhouse gas emissions from rivers, lakes, and streams.
La presión del océano profundo tiene un aplastante impacto en el ciclo del carbono
La presión extrema que existe en el mar profundo reduce el apetito de los microorganismos por carbono orgánico. Este hallazgo podría tener implicaciones importantes en la geoingeniería y el balance de carbono global.
Using Cave Formations to Investigate Ancient Wildfires
From sediment cores to speleothems, environmental archives are helping us to understand the history of wildfires.
Climate Change, Megafires Crush Forest Regeneration
High-intensity fires in western states kill mature trees and their seeds while warmer, drier conditions stress seedlings. But forest managers can still intervene to change this trajectory.
Carbon Sink Models Need Nitrogen
If terrestrial biosphere models don’t include nitrogen, they will overestimate carbon sequestration.
Carbon In, Carbon Out: Balancing the Ocean’s Books
Scientists have developed a consensus guide of standard protocols for how best to measure oceanic primary productivity, a key component in Earth’s carbon cycle.
