Dr. Tana Wood, an ecologist with the U.S. Forest Service, is running experiments to see what might happen to forests if temperatures rise by seven degrees Fahrenheit, the worst-case scenario by the end of the century. Among the impacts, it appears forest
Drs. Emily Limm and Todd Dawson (University of California, Berkeley) recently tackled one aspect of the challenging question of how climate change can impact plant communities that obtain water from fog. Their results are published in the July issue of theAmerican Journal of Botany. Fog is an...
Can we significantly reduce the impact of climate change by farming seaweeds more intensively and investing in algal aquaculture? Should we grow more crops under the sea? How can we broaden the range of staple crops? How will climate change alter plant carbon sequestration and what currently unkno...
How do humans impact temperate forests? How are wildfires managed in temperate forests? How are succession and climax communities related? What causes a climax community to change? How does the climate system connect with forests? How are forest biomes created?
How does climate change affect the U.K.? How does recycling affect climate change? How does the Milankovitch cycle affect climate change? How does climate change affect air quality? How might climate change impact human evolution? How does climate change affect the ozone layer?
While the results appear optimistic, the forestry project takes too long to have an impact if climate change is considered to be an urgent problem. Based on the analysis, one can conclude that the forestry tool needs to be implemented immediately or not at all....
"To find out what forests may look like in the future, we have to understand how each plant species will respond to climate change," explains Constant Signarbieux, the scientist in charge of the study, which was carried out at EPFL's Ecological Systems Laboratory (ECOS). ...
How does climate change affect mesoscale catchments in Switzerland? – a framework for a comprehensive assessment Within the framework of this study we identify mesoscale catchments in Switzerland that exhibit sensitivity towards a change in climate with a focus on alterations of the water balance and...
Instead, California’s environmentalists only redouble their nonsense arguments. Expect these fires to justify even more “climate change” legislation that does nothing to clear the forests of overgrown tinder, and everything to clear the forests, and the chaparral, of people and towns. ...
How does the bearberry plant adapt to the tundra biome? How does the Arctic climate affect the animals there? Why is it so cold in the tundra biome? How does climate change affect temperate deciduous forests? How does topography affect food production in the tundra biome?
