Rising Sea Levels Could Lead to More Methane Emitted from Wetlands
A Bay Area wetlands ecosystem that was expected to serve as a carbon sink is emitting surprisingly high levels of methane, a potent greenhouse gas.
Researchers Find Global Plant Water Use Efficiency Stalled Due to Climate Change
Researchers at the University of New Hampshire have found that water use efficiency has stalled since 2001 which implies not as much CO2 was being taken in by plants and more water was consumed and that could have implications on carbon cycling, agricultural production and water resources.
Stones for the climate
If the cook varies the amount of ingredients when preparing a dish, a completely new taste is created. It is exactly the same with binding of CO2 in the sea – a change in the substances in the water changes everything. The so-called alkalinity, i.e. the acid binding capacity, is created by the weathering of rocks and their entry into the ocean.

NASA grant aids geography professor’s climate research on dryland regions
New research by Indiana University professor Natasha MacBean, supported by a NASA grant, aims to better understand dryland ecosystems, which cover about 40 percent of the Earth’s surface. Drylands support about 38 percent of the world’s population but are sensitive to moisture availability.
