A change in the climate leads to drought, heat waves, unusual weather patterns, higher sea levels, and a huge possibility of natural disasters. When energy consumption is reduced, several of these problems get minimized as they lead to less water loss and greenhouse gas emissions, which include...
The Earth’s climate has changed considerably over time1,2, and more recently since the Industrial Revolution in the late eighteenth century due to increased anthropogenic emissions3,4. Such changes have been felt particularly strongly in the arid and semi-arid regions of the Middle East and Nort...
Biodiversity often helps communities resist invasion. However, it is unclear whether this diversity–invasion relationship holds true under environmental changes. Here, we conduct a meta-analysis of 1010 observations from 25 grassland studies in which pl
根据第一段中“Due to climate change and changes in land use, wildfires are predicted to rise by up to 14 percent by 2030, 30 percent by 2050 and 50 percent by the end of the 21st century, and even areas previously unaffected by wildfires such as the Arctic face increased risk (由于...
Rapidglobal warming and sudden climate changes give thespecies less time than if the changes occur slowly andgradually.1. What is the passage mainly about?A. The way animals and plants survive.B. The effect of climate change on animal and plantlife.C. Change of habitats of animals.D. How...
Differences in temperature indices distributions are particularly pronounced between the most recent two periods and for those indices related to minimum temperature. An analysis of those indices for which seasonal time series are available shows that these changes occur for all seasons although they are...
Climate change is also both global and long-term and could thus affect the risk and expected return of the oil fund's 8 trillion kroner (954 billion U.S. dollars), invested around the world. Climate change can, for example, occur in terms of more extreme weather, more drought, more pre...
Recent studies have produced conflicting results about the impacts of climate change on drought. In this Perspective, a commonly used drought index and observational data are examined to identify the cause of these discrepancies. The authors indicate tha
(~27%) are located in regions that will experience both high rates of climate change and land-use change by 2050. Substantial changes are expected to occur more often within PAs distributed across tropical moist and grassland biomes, which currently host diverse tetrapods and vascular plants, ...
We critically review our present understanding of the impact of quasi-periodic variations in axial obliquity and direction and orbital eccentricity on the climate of Mars and the relationship between these climatic changes and the occurrence of polar layered terrain. Emphasis is placed on the behavior...
