median committed climate damages are larger than the median mitigation costs in 2050 (six trillion in 2005 international dollars) by a factor of approximately six (note that estimates of mitigation costs are only provided every 10 years by the IAMs and so a comparison in 2049 is not possible...
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions in food systems is becoming more challenging as food is increasingly consumed away from producer regions, highlighting the need to consider emissions embodied in trade in agricultural emissions accounting. To address thi
As mycorrhizal fungi depend on plant carbon, ozone has been proposed as an important factor impairing soil nutrient cycling and forest tree growth and nutrition in an indirect manner via reduced and chemically altered carbon flow to the mycorrhizosphere (Andersen, 2003). Ozone effects on ...
We aimed to investigate whether certain emotions and thoughts were present across different countries in the world, rather than to assess the degree to which these thoughts and feelings are felt. Therefore, we chose to use a three-factor response scale (yes, no, or prefer not to say) to ...
In this article, we analyse the role that artificial intelligence (AI) could play, and is playing, to combat global climate change. We identify two crucial opportunities that AI offers in this domain: it can help improve and expand current understanding of climate change, and it can contribute...
which will cascade through the food web, affecting all trophic levels and trophic interactions (Chace and Walsh2006). Likewise, with increasing amounts of built infrastructure comes a change in the vertical structure of the landscape, affecting which feeding guilds might be more likely to succeed....
Climate change is expected to significantly impact agricultural production across Africa. While a number of studies assessed this impact in semi-arid southern Africa, or tropical West Africa, only a limited number took interest in the mountainous and cli
In their method, the FCs obtained in multiple pairs of control/test samples are ranked in decreasing order, and the product of the ranks (RP) for each gene is calculated. Combined probabilities p′ are calculated by multiplying the RP values by a scalar factor which is determined using a ...
In this study we investigate how climate change will directly influence the groundwater resources in Germany during the 21st century. We apply a machine learning groundwater level prediction approach based on convolutional neural networks to 118 sites we
Food consumption is a major source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and evaluating its future warming impact is crucial for guiding climate mitigation action. However, the lack of granularity in reporting food item emissions and the widespread use of oversimplified metrics such as CO2 equivalents ...
