The phenomenon of Arctic Amplification, driven by human activities, has caused Greenland to warm at a faster rate than the rest of the world. This accelerated warming has resulted in increased ice sheet melting, posing a significant threat to global coastal areas and ecosystems. The drivers behind Arctic Amplification, such as local climate feedback processes,

Forests play a crucial role in absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through the process of photosynthesis. However, a recent study led by Peter Reich at the University of Michigan has revealed alarming findings regarding the impact of climate change on carbon storage in forest soils. The experiment conducted by Reich and his team demonstrates
The year 2024 started off with a significant event – a magnitude 7.5 earthquake that struck Japan’s Noto Peninsula on New Year’s Day. This earthquake resulted in the tragic loss of more than 280 lives and caused damage to over 83,000 homes. Scientists have since made a remarkable discovery regarding the earthquake’s initiation, noting that
Recent research led by the Institute of Natural Resources and Agrobiology of Seville has shed light on the sensitivity of terrestrial ecosystems to global change. This study, published in the journal Nature Geoscience, highlights the impact of multiple environmental stressors on the ability of ecosystems to resist the effects of global change. The study reveals
