Mapping Ecosystems Sensitivity to Climate Change
2016-02-18 21:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: Forests, tundras, and alpine areas are some of the worlds most at-risk ecosystems to climate change, according to a new map published in the journal Nature. The study, led by scientists at the University of Bergen in Norway, used satellite data collected from 2000 to 2013 to examine how sensitive plants were to changes in air temperature, water availability, and cloud cover, down to a two-square-mile scale. The scientists used the results to create the Vegetation Sensitivity Indexa visual guide...

The Heat Is On: Climate Change Causes Birds To Hatch Early
2016-02-18 20:26:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Forbes: A recently published study reveals that climate change can cause birds eggs to hatch early. In addition to creating warmer temperatures that trigger early embryonic development in birds, climate change also increases the frequency and duration of heat waves. Thus, warming temperatures are leading to asynchronous hatching of individual eggs within a clutch and increased chick mortality, particularly for birds breeding in the tropics and semi-tropics, and in tropical deserts. Global warming is...
