Impact of Nitrogen Deposition on Carbon and Nitrogen Cycling in Peatlands Under Land‐Use Change
Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Increasing nitrogen (N) deposition significantly alters carbon and N dynamics in peatlands by affecting microbial processes, enhancing greenhouse gas emissions and nutrient leaching into adjacent waters. However, how peatland conversion for agriculture and forestry influences the fate of added N under elevated atmospheric deposition remains ...

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Coal remains a major global energy source despite ongoing environmental controversies, particularly, regarding climate change and landscape transformation. This study investigates the spatiotemporal dynamics of land use and land cover (LULC) in the Moatize Coal Basin (MCB), Mozambique, between 1990 and 2024, with a specific focus on land ...

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Only ~3% of the global land surface is covered by peatlands, yet more than one‐third of global soil carbon is stored in these ecosystems and contaminant filtration can be provided. The extent to which peat humification (Fibric–Hemic–Sapric) is linked to dissolved heavy metals in peatland surface waters has remained poorly quantified at a ...

Finding Plankton: A Marine Science Scavenger Hunt for Local Communities
Limnology and Oceanography Bulletin, EarlyView.Abstract At a time of increasing political polarization and rapidly accelerating climate change, it is important to build public knowledge and empathy toward nature to foster behavioral changes; however, addressing a knowledge deficit can be insufficient to affect these changes.

Incorporating Climate Uncertainty into Estimates of Climate Change Impacts, with Applications to U.S. and African Agriculture [PDF]
A growing body of economics research projects the effects of global climate change on economic outcomes. Climate scientists often criticize these articles because nearly all ignore the well-established uncertainty in future temperature and rainfall ...

A simple index for assessing cumulative human impacts on mountain lakes
Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract Mountain lakes are highly sensitive ecosystems and effective sentinels of environmental change, yet the exposure and magnitude of the human footprint remain poorly quantified. In this study, we develop a simple and non‐invasive abiotic index to assess cumulative pressures on mountain lakes. The proposed index integrates eight variables grouped
