Trees Struggle to ‘Breathe’ as Climate Warms, Researchers Find
Trees are struggling to sequester heat-trapping carbon dioxide (CO2) in warmer, drier climates, meaning that they may no longer serve as a solution for offsetting humanity’s carbon footprint as the planet continues to warm, according to a new study led by Penn State researchers.
Unprecedented Ocean Heating Shows Risks of World 3°C Warmer
Record-high ocean temperatures observed in 2023 could become the norm if the world moved into a climate that is 3.0°C warmer than pre-industrial levels, according to a new study.
New Study Reports That Greenland Is a Methane Sink Rather Than a Source
Researchers at the University of Copenhagen have concluded that the methane uptake in dry landscapes exceeds methane emissions from wet areas across the ice-free part of Greenland.
How Sea Otters Are Protecting the California Coast Against Climate Change
California sea otters were nearly hunted to extinction in the 19th century, with only a small number surviving along the central coast.
‘Tiny Tornadoes’ Around Leaves Spread Deadly Plant Pathogens
When raindrops hit a leaf of a wheat plant infected with rust – a pathogenic spore that has decimated crops globally – the leaf flutters, creating tiny swirling vortices of air that disperse the spores, where they could end up infecting healthy plants.
