More and Stronger Marine Heatwaves in the Arctic – With Severe Consequences
Marine heatwaves are becoming more frequent and intense. The Arctic Ocean also suffers from this development: The absence of sea ice will lead to more extreme fluctuations in ocean temperatures, with abrupt temperature changes occurring at unprecedented rates.
Tiny Plants Reveal Big Potential for Boosting Crop Efficiency
Scientists have long sought ways to help plants turn more carbon dioxide (CO₂) into biomass, which could boost crop yields and even combat climate change.
Marked Decrease in Arctic Pressure Ridges
In the Arctic, the old, multiyear ice is increasingly melting, dramatically reducing the frequency and size of pressure ridges.
An Abundant Phytoplankton Feeds a Global Network of Marine Microbes
One of the hardest-working organisms in the ocean is the tiny, emerald-tinged Prochlorococcus marinus.
Pollinators, Pollen and Varieties Determine Fruit Quality
Pollination by animals contributes to a third of global food production, but little research has been done into the extent to which the identity of pollinators, pollen and crop varieties influence fruit quality when it comes to the nutritional, sensory and commercial value of crops.
