A new research study from the Chinese Academy of Sciences has shed light on the driving forces behind the Oligocene era's long-term decrease in atmospheric CO2 levels. The study, funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, among others, has revealed
Global warming
Researchers at the University of Sydney have found that climate change is causing ocean warming, increased precipitation, and more frequent and intense extreme weather events, such as marine heatwaves, along the south-eastern Australia coast. This region is considered a climate change hot spot and is home to the Sydney rock
Global warming
Scientists at Sorbonne University have published a new report warning of the devastating impact of climate change on marine species and ecosystems. According to the research, anthropogenic drivers of biodiversity loss, including climate change, are taking a significant toll on marine ecosystems. To mitigate this loss, the researchers emphasize the

A new research report has highlighted the severe impact of climate change on the unique biodiversity of Mediterranean open marine and coastal ecosystems. While these ecosystems face multiple risks, climate change is considered a major ongoing threat. The study, conducted by researchers at the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research
Global warming
Research has revealed that the impact of climate change on the marine plankton ecosystem extends to higher trophic levels, ultimately affecting the biogeochemical cycling of carbon and nutrients. Japan-based scientists conducted incubation experiments to determine the temperature and CO2 sensitivities of marine phytoplankton growth and microzooplankton grazing in the western
Global warming
Climate change is severely impacting the Arctic marine ecosystem at a faster rate than the global average, posing significant challenges to the management and conservation of biodiversity and living marine resources. Researchers at the University of British Columbia conducted a study to investigate the climate risks and vulnerabilities of 21
Global warming
Research conducted by the Chinese Academy of Sciences used Google Earth Engine and the Carnegie-Ames-Stanford Approach model to evaluate the biomass carbon storage in 40 cities with large-scale forestation projects. The study found that urban forests in tropical zones had the highest biomass carbon storage, with an annual accumulation of
Global warming
Research on the Qilian Mountains (QLMs) in China has revealed that vegetation trends in the region are influenced by complex topography, climate variability, and human activities. A study published in Environmental Development reported that since 2001, vegetation in the QLMs exhibited an overall improving trend, with localized degradation mainly located
