Part 1: Local vs global stressors on coral reefs and kelp forests. Marine ecosystems are vital, providing habitats for diverse wildlife and numerous benefits to human societies, including food, raw materials, climate regulation, and nutrient cycling. The ability...
It’s time for arable farming to join the Green Revolution. Annual cropping systems make up a large part of the farming industry, so the chance to use them to improve carbon sequestration should be taken to help reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Among the...
Lawns feel unnatural and provide little feeling of being in nature – could urban meadows be the answer? Urban areas have been noted as a contributing factor to both the climate and biodiversity crises. Wildflower meadows can be grown to mitigate both of these...
Anthropogenic climate change is driving global biodiversity losses, with detrimental effects on ecosystem services and functions. Industrialisation has already increased average biosphere temperatures by ~1.1C, with further rises of up to 5C predicted by 2100. Climate...
Beyond the models: exploring the real-world responses of bats to climate change Climate change poses a significant threat to global biodiversity, with impacts predicted to become much more severe by 2100. However, up to now, research has largely failed to provide...
