The small ecosystem in Puerto Rico where the study was conducted
Dr. Tana Wood, an ecologist with the U.S. Forest Service, is running experiments to see what might happen to forests if temperatures rise by seven degrees Fahrenheit, the worst-case scenario by the end of the century. Among the impacts, it appears forests could lose some of their ability to absorb carbon, which contributes to rising temperatures. David Schechter has the story.
An exciting character is coming to Genshin Impact. Here is the confirmed release date for Arlecchino in Genshin Impact.
New University of Minnesota research suggests "leaf glow" provides vital information on vegetation dynamics in Arctic and boreal ecosystems like Minnesota's forests and wetlands, which are among the fastest warming in the world. Using remote sensing to monitor the natural glow may help scientists better track climate change and its impact on our natural resources.
Warming temperatures are causing a steady rise in copper, zinc, and sulfate in the waters of Colorado mountain streams affected by acid rock drainage. Concentrations of these metals have roughly doubled in these alpine streams over the past 30 years, a new study finds, presenting a concern for ecosystems, downstream water quality, and mining remediation.
Japan, the world's fifth-largest emitter of greenhouse gases, covers a surface area smaller than California but has some of the longest coastlines in the world
Extreme heat linked to the deaths of hundreds of people would not have happened without global warming.
Globally, last year was the warmest for thousands of years, with a globally averaged temperature of at least 1.45°C greater than pre-industrial times. The year also saw an unprecedented string of extreme weather and climate events in many parts of the world, including heat waves, torrential rainfall, transitions from drought to floods, wildfires, and sandstorms.
For the first time ever, researchers have harnessed the power of big data to calculate the per-country greenhouse gas emissions from aviation for 197 countries covered by an international treaty on climate change.
In Yokohama, Japan, a coastal city just south of Tokyo, over a hundred volunteers recently gathered to plant eelgrass in the seabed.
Asia was the world's most disaster-hit region from extreme weather and climate in 2023, exacerbated by climate change, according to a new UN report.
Climate change has taken up a permanent presence in our global discourse. The broad issue is complex, riddled with an assortment of challenges.Yet in the mainstream, the idea of climate change is regularly oversimplified, and the conversation around this multifaceted topic invariably circles back to one element: carbon.As the primary contributor to the greenhouse effect and our changing climate, it’s understandable why carbon – and its capture and removal – has become the central character in...
