Wintertime production and storage of methane in thermokarst ponds of subarctic Norway [PDF]
BiogeosciencesThe ongoing climate change in permafrost areas can trigger abrupt thaw processes, leading to the formation of thermokarst lakes and ponds. These water bodies, especially in organic-rich areas, are recognized as strong methane (CH4) emitters during the ...

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT ‘Hard’ natural sciences have extensively been used to provide evidence that climate change is happening and climate action is needed. If the contribution of our economic activities to disturbing our climate systems is now largely accepted, the way in which we design and operationalise ‘climate action’—how we transition to more sustainable ...

Algae and oxygen, humans and carbon: A Precambrian analogue for the Anthropocene
, 2019 In 2003 Paul Crutzen and Will Steffen asserted that across Earth’s 4.5-billion-year history no analogue could be found for the Anthropocene. An analogue can, however, be located in the dim Precambrian past when, through oxygenic photosynthesis ...

The 5T Paradox of Triclosan: From Toiletries to Toxic Trash, a Growing Threat to Humanity
Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Triclosan (TCS) persists as a contaminant of concern in the Anthropocene, despite regulatory actions. Environmental dissemination continues through wastewater effluents, biosolid application, and improper disposal practices. This narrative review synthesizes current evidence regarding triclosan's environmental fate, transformation pathways ...

Elements on the move: How ungulate migration expands Alpine biogeochemical footprints
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Using a spatially explicit model parameterized with GPS telemetry, we show that migratory and resident red deer play distinct roles in nitrogen redistribution across alpine landscapes. Migrants uniquely transport nitrogen upslope and up elevation, linking ecosystem element pools and revealing how the loss of migration alters large‐scale ecosystem ...
