The solutions to climate change Human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and destroying rainforests, have an increasing influence on the climate and the Earth’s temperature. This adds huge quantities of greenhouse gases to those naturally present in the atmosphere, increasing the greenhouse ...
but climate change’s impact on precipitation is often to reduce or change patterns of precipitation. A less obvious impact is climate change is that it has driven an upturn in the strength of hurricanes that make landfall, causing great concern for their impacts on rainforests of the Caribbean...

We present a methodology designed to study the spatial heterogeneity of climate change. Our approach involves decomposing the observed changes in temperature patterns into multiple trend, cycle, and seasonal components within a spatio-temporal model. We
Meanwhile, climate change is made worse by wildfires, mostly by damaging sensitive and carbon-rich ecosystems like rainforests.(这份题为《像野火一样蔓延:异常景观火灾的威胁不断上升》的报告称,野火和气候变化正在“相互恶化”。气候变化加剧了干旱、高温、低湿、闪电和强风,使野火变得更加严重。与此同时,...
Still, with only 9-16 percent of the Atlantic Forest’s original habitat space remaining, this study lends a silver lining to an otherwise grim narrative about the effects of human activity on rainforests. “I think this gives us a little bit of hope. As long as we have forest — and ...

It’s no secret that the world’s coral reefs are in bad shape. Climate change has led to widespread coral bleaching(变白), overfishing has disrupted the ecosystems that keep reefs healthy and toxic run-off(径流) from human industry is destroying the so-called "rainforests of the sea". No...
Climate change and urbanization are exacerbating the effects of flooding. A close look at a Nepalese river reveals that efforts to reduce the impact of floods must consider the geomorphic changes that occur during these extreme events. Kristen L. Cook ...
