Desert mangroves are major source of carbon storage, study shows
2016-03-29 05:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Researchers found that short, stunted mangroves living along the coastal desert of Baja California store up to five times more carbon below ground than their lush, tropical counterparts. The new study led by researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego estimates that coastal desert mangroves, which only account for one percent of the land area, store nearly 30 percent of the region's belowground carbon. "Mangroves represent a thin layer between ocean and land, and yet we...

Simulation shows how modern interventions can affect tropical forests and indigenous people
2016-03-26 16:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: People have thrived deep within the Amazon rainforest for hundreds of years without contact with the outside world. The constant encroachment of modern civilization, however, is putting the long-term sustainability of these people, and the ecosystems they inhabit, at risk. Now a team of Stanford researchers has developed a computer model that can help understand the ways that activities such as clear-cutting and welfare programs might impact the future of the land and the people who live inside...

Winter storms strongest to hit western Europe since 1948, study shows
2016-03-26 16:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: The repeated storms which battered Europe's Atlantic coastline during the winter of 2013/14 were the most energetic in almost seven decades, new research has shown. And they were part of a growing trend in stormy conditions which scientists say has the potential to dramatically change the equilibrium state of beaches along the western side of the continent, leading to permanent changes in beach gradient, coastal alignment and nearshore bar position. In a study accepted for publication in Geophysical...
