Elevated carbon dioxide suppresses dominant plant species in a mixed-grass prairie
2016-07-01 08:07:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
PhysOrg: Climate controls vegetation distribution across Earth, with some vegetation types being more vulnerable to climate change and others more resistant. Because resistance and resilience can influence ecosystem stability and determine how communities and ecosystems respond to climate change, evaluating the potential for resistance in future prairies and other ecosystems is important. Led by researchers from Wyoming, a team found that elevated carbon dioxide levels suppress the dominant plant species...

Southeast Asian fires emitted most carbon since 1997: scientists
2016-06-28 17:47:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Forest fires that blanketed Southeast Asia in thick haze last year released the greatest amount of climate-changing carbon since record blazes in 1997, producing emissions higher than in the whole of the European Union, scientists said on Tuesday. Singapore, Malaysia and northern Indonesia choked under a layer of toxic smog in September and October last year, caused by thousands of fires started in Indonesia to cheaply clear land for palm oil crops and for pulp and paper plantations. The fires...
