Forest Resilience Linked with Higher Mortality Risk in Western U.S., Study Finds
A forest’s resilience, or ability to absorb environmental disturbances, has long been thought to be a boost for its odds of survival against the looming threat of climate change.
Plants Can Adapt Their Lignin Using “Chemically Encoding” Enzymes to Face Climate Change
A new study shows how plants “encode” specific chemistries of their lignin to grow tall and sustain climate changes: each plant cell uses different combinations of the enzymes LACCASEs to create specific lignin chemistries.
Study Shows the Majority of California’s Coastal Airports Are Vulnerable to Increased Flooding Caused by Climate Change
Most of California’s population and its largest airports are located along the Pacific coastline, which is increasingly impacted by storm surges, sea level rise, and erosion due to climate change.
Experts Present Strategies to Mitigate Methane Emissions in Dairy Cattle
Methane mitigation has been identified as essential for addressing climate change.
Researchers Propose New Structures to Harvest Untapped Source of Fresh Water
An almost limitless supply of fresh water exists in the form of water vapor above Earth’s oceans, yet remains untapped, researchers said.
