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 atmosph...
Discuss three (3) positive and three (3) negative impacts of humans on the biosphere. Which positive and negative impacts do you believe are the most significant to consider. Justify your response. Discuss three positive and three negative impacts of humans on the...
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
One way to gain a quantifiable (可量化的) understanding of the impacts of our actions, for good and bad, is through what is known as a carbon footprint. While the concept is gaining traction, it is not always fully understood. According to Mike Berners-Lee, a professor at Lancaster ...
Global warming is thereby damaging the earth’s ecosystems and impairing their ability to absorb carbon,16while 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,17and...
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...
Human activities are changing the Earth's climate because of an ignorance toward the negative human impacts on the environment. Most of these impacts are driven by agriculture and an expanding human footprint. Global warming, deforestation, pollution, rising sea levels, and over-harvesting are all...
While tipping points are often used to describe the negative impacts of climate change, researchers have found some points of optimism as well. A new study has highlighted examples of positive “tipping points” in human societies that could rapidly slash carbon emissions. ...
The impact of carbon emissions on society is divided into market-based and non-market-based impacts, with market-based impacts on agriculture, energy, sea level, wood and water; Non-market impacts include human health, human comfort,migration, material damage, and disasters caused by extreme weat...
Diagnosing the local atmospheric response of the NAWH is a first step toward understanding its maintenance and broader climatic implications. While other studies have proposed potential causes and remote impacts of the NAWH and its relation to anthropogenic warming, we explore the atmosphere’s ...
