Climate simulations show that interactions between particles of black carbon and convective and cloud processes in the atmosphere must be considered when assessing the full climatic effects of these ...

Researchers report the results of an eight-year experiment in grassland plant communities enriching carbon dioxide levels from pre-industrial to projected mid-21st century levels, and found that ...

Many scientists, policymakers, and engaged citizens have become concerned over the possibility that manmade greenhouse gas emissions, in particular carbon dioxide (CO2), may be causing dangerous ...

As greenhouse gases pour into the atmosphere, global temperatures rise smoothly and predictably in response. It’s the fundamental basis of climate change, the physical law that’s been reshaping the ...

Temporal fluctuations in plant species coexistence are key to understanding ecosystem state transitions and long-term maintenance of species diversity. Although plant microbiomes can alter plant ...

Researchers report that climate-related impacts to economies may slow carbon emissions at rates that can offset natural climate feedbacks that increase emissions, but at a societal cost. Rising ...
