Our findings suggest that climate changes could alter functional strategies and cause shifts in new dominant species, which could greatly reduce ecological functions and carbon gains of old-growth subtropical forests.Anchi WuXin XiongGonzález-M, Roy...
climate change hasto: more negative than positive impacts to crops, such as wheat and maize; coral bleaching and species range shifts; more frequent heat waves; coastal flooding; increased tree die-off in various regions; and a significant loss ofin places like Greenland and Antarctica. ...
- The trapping of heat by greenhouse gases leads to a rise in global temperatures, a phenomenon known as global warming. - This increase in temperature can result in various environmental changes, including climate change, melting ice caps, and rising sea levels. 5. Conclusion: The greenhouse ...
Attribution of the record-shattering global annual heat in 2023 to human and/or natural factors is fundamentally required for reliable predictions of upcoming global warming and its impacts. An observation-model comparison of global hot areas supports a key role for human-induced climate change, with...
We used a decade-long dataset (2010–2019) of satellite observations of methane to show that tropical terrestrial emissions explain more than 80% of the observed changes in the global atmospheric methane growth rate over this period. Using correlative meteorological analyses, we show strong seasonal...
Answer to: Explain how we can apply the six principles of sustainability to the problems of air pollution, climate change, and ozone depletion. By...
A clever tour of everyday life that compares the climate change impacts of different things we do. Eaarth by Bill McKibben. St Martin's Griffin, 2011. What kind of changes will human society have to make to survive? Confessions of an Eco-Sinner: Tracking Down the Sources of My Stuff ...
There are various other important differences that stop nuclear power plants from turning into nuclear bombs. In particular, nuclear bombs have to be assembled in a very precise way and detonated so that they implode (pushing the nuclear material together so it reacts properly). These conditions ...
Multi-purpose crops as maize, rice, soybean, and wheat are key in the debate concerning food, land, water and energy security and sustainability. While strong evidence exists on the effects of climate variability on the production of these crops, so far
Professor Mayer, recognised by many as a leading expert in the study of changes to people’s EQs, recently 1 announced the results of a study on senior secondary school students. When students were introduced to those who had disabilities, they found that, afterwards, the non-di...
