Carbon changes in conterminous US forests associated with growth and major disturbances. [PDF]

, 2011
We estimated forest area and carbon changes in the conterminous United States using a remote sensing based land cover change map, forest fire data from the Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity program, and forest growth and harvest data from the USDA ...

Tissue accumulation of polystyrene microplastics causes oxidative stress, hepatopancreatic injury and metabolome alterations in Litopenaeus vannamei

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2023
Microplastics (MPs) pose one of the major environmental threats to marine organisms and ecosystems on a global scale. Although many marine crustaceans are highly susceptible to MPs pollution, the toxicological effects and mechanisms of MPs on crustaceans

Calculating the global contribution of coralline algae to carbon burial [PDF]

, 2015
The ongoing increase in anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions is changing the global marine environment and is causing warming and acidification of the oceans.

Carbon sink geopolitics [PDF]

Economy and Society, 2018
This paper offers an example of global politics in action by attending to the modalities and outcomes of United Nations negotiations on global warming. More precisely, the paper ethnographically traces how the capacity of tropical forests to be carbon sinks is turned into a matter of global concern.

Predicting the variable ocean carbon sink [PDF]

Science Advances, 2019
The oceanic uptake of CO 2 varies substantially in time; here, we show that we can predict this uptake 2 years into the future.

High‐resolution mapping of the global silicate weathering carbon sink and its long‐term changes

Global Change Biology, 2022
Climatic and non‐climatic factors affect the chemical weathering of silicate rocks, which in turn affects the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere on a long‐term scale.

Observation-constrained estimates of the global ocean carbon sink from Earth system models

Biogeosciences, 2022
. The ocean slows global warming by currently taking up around one-quarter of all human-made CO2 emissions. However, estimates of the ocean anthropogenic carbon uptake vary across various observation-based and model-based approaches.

The ocean carbon sink – impacts, vulnerabilities and challenges [PDF]

, 2014
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is, next to water vapour, considered to be the most important natural greenhouse gas on Earth. Rapidly rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations caused by human actions such as fossil fuel burning, land-use change or cement production ...

Machine learning-based grassland aboveground biomass estimation and its response to climate variation in Southwest China

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
The demand for accurate estimation of aboveground biomass (AGB) at high spatial resolution is increasing in grassland-related research and management, especially for those regions with complex topography and fragmented landscapes, where grass and shrub ...
