Persistence and potential of soil organic carbon in nature‐based climate solutions: A review of managed disturbances

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 811-830, May 2026.
Implementing nature‐based climate solutions is important for mitigating climate change, which is a global issue, but requires local adjustments in management practices. Using the association between soil carbon and minerals as a proxy for carbon persistence, we evaluated the effect of different management regimes on soil carbon sequestration and loss ...

Projected Future of African Marine Ecosystems Under Climate Change and Stratospheric Aerosol Injection

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI) has been proposed as a potential strategy to cool the planet. The ARISE‐SAI‐1.5 approach, which employes a moderate emission scenario, is simulated to limit future global warming to 1.5°C by injecting aerosols into the stratosphere in the year 2035.

Global Kilometer‐Scale Climate Storylines Using Spectral Nudging

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Effective climate adaptation benefits from detailed, actionable information on how specific extreme events are influenced by climate change. Here we present the first global, kilometer‐scale coupled modeling framework that enables counterfactual reconstructions of recent weather events, including extremes, in different climates.
