BEIJING, Dec. 21 (Xinhua) -- As the cultivation of crops capable of adapting to climate change is becoming increasingly important, Chinese scientists have identified, in a breakthrough study, a novel approach that markedly enhances crop productivity in the face of high-temperature adversity. A 2...
Organisms need to constantly recalibrate development and physiology in response to changes in their environment. Climate change-associated global warming is amplifying the intensity and periodicity of these changes. Being sessile, plants are particularly vulnerable to variations happening around them. These ...
Our study questions the reliability of TSMs and other climate vulnerability metrics when averaged across large time scales (for example, using the maximum temperature of the warmest quarter) for detecting species most vulnerable to thermal extremes. It also challenges the general notion that low-latitu...
Food security and climate change mitigation are major challenges in developing countries. Changes in management practices such as fertilizer use efficiency, use of organic fertilizers, use of legume with grasses, optimization of irrigation water, plant breeding and genetic modifications and selection of ...
Other species will face more unusual challenges. The sex of sea turtle hatchlings, for example, is temperature dependent with warmer temperatures increasing the number of female sea turtles at the expense of males. Those species that are unable to adapt are facing extinction. In fact, predictions...
climate change. Between then and now, a lot have changed but the future for mankind remains uncertain. But one thing for certain; global warming didn’t happen overnight. Here we take a look at the timeline of global warming from its first discovery to the challenges faced today and the ...
