'Warmer soils spew more carbon into air'

Indo Asian News Service: Warmer soils spew additional carbon into the atmosphere under the impact of climate change, US research says. The study, conducted by Serita Frey, professor from the University of New Hampshire and others, throws new light on how soil bugs respond to temperature and could finetune predictions of how warming will affect the carbon dioxide (CO2) flux from soils. Activities of soil bugs release 10 times the CO2 that human do on a yearly basis. This release of CO2 has been kept in check by plants'...
Warmer soils release additional CO2 into atmosphere; Effect stabilizes over longer term
2013-01-20 22:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Warmer temperatures due to climate change could cause soils to release additional carbon into the atmosphere, thereby enhancing climate change - but that effect diminishes over the long term, finds a new study in the journal Nature Climate Change. The study, from UNH professor Serita Frey and co-authors from the University of California-Davis and the Marine Biological Laboratory, sheds new light on how soil microorganisms respond to temperature and could improve predictions of how climate warming...

A 4°c Warmer World 'Will Be Catastrophic' for Forest Biodiversity - Expert
2013-01-15 11:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
AlertNet: Global temperatures may be climbing at a rate too fast for our forests and its biodiversity to adapt, a scientist with the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) warned after the World Bank predicted a 4°C warming of the planet if policymakers continue to be apathetic about greenhouse gas emissions. "The long-term effects will undoubtedly be catastrophic," said Terry Sunderland, CIFOR principal scientist specialising in biodiversity. "Everything will become unbalanced and whole ecosystems...

Now no one can deny that the world is getting warmer

Observer: The draft version of the US National Climate Assessment, released on Friday, makes remarkable reading not just for Americans but for all humanity. Put together by a special panel of more than 240 scientists, the federally commissioned report reveals that the US is already reeling under the impact of global warming. Heatwaves, droughts, floods, intense downpours, rising sea levels and melting glaciers are now causing widespread havoc and are having an impact on a wide range of fronts including health...
Warmer Winters Threaten Smaller Ski Areas
2013-01-10 15:43:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Daily Climate: The scene is something no ski resort operator wants to see early in the season: Sunlight glaring off the sloppy snow pooling like dirty mashed potatoes at the base of the high-speed six-person chairlift. The thermometer at Jiminy Peak Mountain Resort in western Massachusetts reads 59 degrees Fahrenheit on this mid-November day, and Brian Fairbank, president and CEO of Jiminy Peak, is convinced the remaining snow will keep. A northern exposure, aggressive snowmaking during the prior week's...
