Mechanized harvesting has not reduced atmospheric pollution in the sugarcane region
Data presented by a researcher from UNESP at FAPESP Week France indicate that aerosol and ozone particle concentrations in 2018 were equivalent to those of the period prior to the prohibition of burning; the causes are still to be investigated

Marine community composition shifts in predictable ways in warming oceans
Global simulations suggest plankton and fish species are showing resilience to climate change by going deeper underwater or moving to higher latitudes. Anticipating changes in community composition in response to warming is challenging because species respond differently and the interactions…

Changes in oxygen concentrations in our ocean can disrupt fundamental biological cycles
New research led by scientists at the University of Bristol has shown that the feedback mechanisms that were thought to keep the marine nitrogen cycle relatively stable over geological time can break down when oxygen levels in the ocean decline…
