Unravelling biosphere feedback mechanisms is crucial for predicting the impacts of global warming. Soil priming, an effect of fresh plant-derived carbon (C) on native soil organic carbon (SOC) decomposition, is a key feedback mechanism that could release large amounts of soil C into the ...
1. Global warming is often predicted to increase damage to plants through direct effects on insect herbivores. However, the indirect impacts of rising temperatures on herbivores, mediated through interactions with their biotic environment, could dampen these effects. 2. Using a series of reciprocal ...
2018. "Global Warming of 1.5°C an IPCC Special Report on the Impacts of Global Warming of 1.5°C Above Pre-Industrial Levels and Related Global Greenhouse Gas Emission Pathways, in the Context of Strengthening the Global Response to the Threat of Climate Change, Sustainable Development, and ...
Increasing global temperatures are predicted to stimulate soil microbial respiration. The direct and indirect impacts of warming on soil microbes, nevertheless, remain unclear. This is particularly true for understudied subsoil microbes. Here, we show that 4.5 years of whole-profile soil warming in a...
Reducing environmental harm is not enough. For greater sustainability and our survival, companies must shift operations from net-zero to net-positive.
It provides a wide range of ecosystem services, supplies us with oxygen to breathe, contributes to food security, nutrition and decent jobs and livelihoods. Yet unsustainable exploitation, pollution from chemicals, plastics and the climate crisis, with its impacts on ocean temperature and acidification...
University of Miami 迈阿密大学 By Jon Dorsey, RJD Intern 作者:Jon Dorsey 翻译:郝老西 It is evident that the ocean's conditions are changing at alarming rates due to natural disasters and man’s activities. Pressures such as global warming, hurricanes and boat groundings all increase the environm...
Energy efficiency brings health, productivity, safety, comfort and savings to homeowner, as well as local and global environmental benefits. Introduction Spaces without northerly orientations have an impact on the energy behaviour of a building. For sustainable development, the adverse impacts of energy...
Public support for climate policies is important for their efficacy, yet little is known about how different framings of climate change affect public support for climate policies around the world. Here we report findings from a conjoint experiment of 7,5
Global warming is thereby damaging the earth’s ecosystems and impairing their ability to absorb carbon,16 while the impacts of the global economy continue to destroy nature: 32% of the world’s forest area has been lost, along with 50% of the coral reef systems,17 ...
