Global warming has picked up speed over the past decade, and the consequences are no longer confined to glaciers or distant ...

For decades, ever since biologists recognized the potential environmental harms from climate change, they have worried that ...

Scientists may be underestimating how plants will respond to rising global temperatures when they study hot summers but not warming winters, Michigan State University ecologists have found. Subscribe ...

Heating alone won’t drive soil microbes to release more carbon dioxide — they need added carbon and nutrients to thrive. This finding challenges assumptions about how climate warming influences soil ...

Attribution researches the influence of climate change on local weather and impacts. We issues alerts in many instances when the Climate Shift Index identifies a notable extreme weather event around ...

Earth’s top 2 meters (6 feet) of soil hold 2.5 trillion metric tons of carbon — more than is held in living vegetation and the atmosphere combined. But soil carbon sinks are under threat — global ...

A new study reports that climate warming can increase soil carbon accumulation in boreal Sphagnum peatlands by boosting plant productivity, protecting iron, and inhibiting microbial decomposition.
