Because the emission of greenhouse gases is the main perpetrator that causes global warming (and therefore climate change), it’s important to understand how carbon and other greenhouse gas emissions affect the environment. After all, if we don’t understand the impact of carbon emissions, then ...
Let's first take a look at the occurrence of extreme heat events on a global scale. With scorching heatwaves and rampant wildfires, many regions around the world have recently been hit by sweltering temperatures, resulting in the deaths of thousands of people due to heat-related factors. In ...
Fire strongly affects animals’ behavior, population dynamics, and environmental surroundings, which in turn are likely to affect their immune systems and exposure to pathogens. However, little work has yet been conducted on the effects of wildfires on wildlife disease. This research gap is rapidly ...
Warmer temperatures allow for fuels to ignite and burn faster, adding to the rate at which a wildfire spreads. For this reason, wildfires tend to rage in the afternoon, when temperatures are at their hottest. Wind probably has the biggest impact on a wildfire's behavior. It also the most ...
How do changes in the Earth's orbit affect climate? How does the greenhouse effect affect humans? How did the ice age affect the environment? How does climate change affect forests? How does soil pollution affect climate change? How does the carbon tax affect climate change?
How does climate change affect wildfires? How does land degradation affect climate change? How does climate change affect the taiga biome? How did topography and climate affect Africa? How do precipitation and evaporation affect climate? How does climate change affect the cryosphere?
Even if you’re not a climate activist or hardcore recycler, it’s impossible to turn a blind eye to the natural disasters ravaging the globe, from wildfires in Australia to floods in South Asia and drought in East Africa. In the US, the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI...
“The impacts of the Climate Crisis are being felt in all regions across our country — extreme weather, heat waves, deeper and longer droughts, crop failures, strengthening wildfires, sea level rise — and they are disproportionately borne by the most vulnerable among us,” former Vice President...
How do forest invertebrates respond to different types of disturbance events (e.g., catastrophic wildfires versus Indigenous cultural burning practices) and what are the underlying mechanisms behind these responses (Erenler et al. 2020; Filazzola et al. 2021)? iv. What are the metapopulation and...
