The article reports on the research revealing that ocean microbes produce a large amount of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide, which could be contributing to global warming. According to Mark Trimmer of U...

communities and ecosystems will respond to a changing climate1,2,3,4. Because fundamental physiological rates of ectotherms are directly affected by environmental temperature3,5,6, climatic warming may be expected to lead to ectotherm communities with ...
The trees have been affected by a fungal disease called armillarea mellea that starts drying the trees from its roots, the newspaper report quoted experts at the Himalayan Forest Research Institute in Shimla as saying. The fungal attack is caused by climactic changes like global warming. Though ...
Recent data suggest that small producers account for 30% of global food production, yet they are the group most affected by food insecurity. The decline in this system could have negative consequences for the food security of subsistence farmers [3]. As a self-consumption system, its ...
Global climate change increases abiotic stresses, such as heat and salinity, which pose significant challenges to agriculture and food security. These envi
"There was some glaciation that started around that period that was driven at least in part by the evolution of land plants," Kopp said in a telephone interview. Trees also affected the global carbon cycle in another indirect way. As they tunnel through the ground, tree roots break down sil...
In this review, we will discuss how host- and microbial-mediated activities translate into the emerging functions of the sponge holobiont that impact the surrounding ecosystem, and how the holobiont is in turn affected by the anthropogenic pressures increasingly impacting marine ecosystems. Marine sponge...

Manipulation of protein and amino acid degradation is important, because excreted ammonia could be the source of nitrous oxide, which has much higher potential for global warming than methane. Also, decreased ammonia level in the rumen, but not lower than 5 mgN/dL to ensure microbial protein ...
