2014-02-27 11:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: US secretary of state John Kerry has called for a massive expansion of the worlds marine reserves, urging governments to work together to protect our oceans. Kerry warned that overfishing, pollution and acidification linked to greenhouse gas emissions were threatening all marine life, and the billions of people who depend on it for life and livelihood. The UN Food and Agriculture Organisation estimates than one in five people worldwide rely on fish as their primary source of protein. This...

Loss of biodiversity limits toxin degradation
2014-01-17 18:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: You might not think of microbes when you consider biodiversity, but it turns out that even a moderate loss of less than 5% of soil microbes may compromise some key ecosystem functions and could lead to lower degradation of toxins in the environment. Research published today in the SfAM journal, Environmental Microbiology, reports that without a rich diversity of soil bacteria, specialized functions such as the removal of pesticide residues are not as effective. Dr Brajesh Singh of the University...

Patterns of Land Degradation in Drylands
2013-08-22 01:40:41| Springer Environmental Sciences titles
Understanding Self-Organised Ecogeomorphic SystemsLand degradation in drylands is a multi-faceted problem. Consequently, current management approaches that attempt to mitigate such land degradation often fail to produce significant improvements. The processes associated with land degradation in drylands fall at the interface of ecology and geomorphology. For a better understanding of this degradation, there is a need to uncover the underlying ...
