Arecent paper in Nature Communicationsused climate models and satellite data to measure the climate impact of tropical deforestation on the forests left behind. They found that after deforestation in one patch of the Amazon, the resulting climate changes led to another 5.1% loss of total biomass (...
defined as the slope of the regression between CGR and climate, with both variables detrended. In alignment with correlations, we first perform a univariate regression in which CGR is the function of tropical water alone to avoid possible underestimations of the sensitivity of CGR to tropical ...
Xue et al. found that phosphorus is the most limiting nutrient in the Xishuangbanna tropical seasonal rainforest and that the acidic soils further limit phosphorus availability32. Based on the SEM analysis, the soil pH was primarily determined by the topography within our plots, and the plots ...
In the Amazon rainforest, that is most sensitive to human impact, stands a big risk to lose its species diversity. Fragmentation and climate change together seems to escalate the death rate of rainforest plants and that will change the whole ecosystem. Birds and insects are depending on the ...
staggering figure can be partly attributed to climate stability over many years and the unique ability of sub-canopy rainforest environments to maintain steady temperature conditions. Now, however, rapidly rising global temperatures and human land use are disrupting these biodiverse sanctuaries like never...
The impact generated by microbial resistance is immeasurable, leading to prolonged disease and increased mortality, in addition to the social and human impact and the rise in costs for the health sector. The problem of antimicrobial resistance is further aggravated due to the inappropriate and exacerb...
