<p>Contrary to popular expectations, the effects of forest cover on regional climate might be limited and the influence of forestation on water resources might be negative says this new study by Csaba Mátyás, Ge Sun published in Environmental Research Letters.</p>
Thermokarst lakes formed across vast regions of Siberia and Alaska during the last deglaciation and are thought to be a net source of atmospheric methane and carbon dioxide during the Holocene epoch. However,
This interim 2014 report by the Deep Decarbonization Pathway Project (DDPP) summarizes preliminary findings of the pathways developed by the DDPP Country Research Teams with the objective of achieving
Agroforestry provides a living for at least 1.2 billion people—approximately a sixth of humanity —and nearly all of us use and consume some of the goods and services it provides. The coffee you had for
We often hear that planting trees can help cool the environment. This may work not only at a household level, but also on the planetary scale-large scale afforestation has been advanced by the United Nations
<p>The timing of phenological events exerts a strong control over ecosystem function and leads to multiple feedbacks to the climate system. Phenology is inherently sensitive to temperature (although the
Soil buried deep underground that formed on Earth's surface thousounds of years ago has been found to be rich in carbon. The subsurface features of vanished landscapes add a new dimension to our planet's
