Large live biomass carbon losses from droughts in the northern temperate ecosystems during 2016-2022
Northern ecosystems (≥ 30° N) have been accumulating vegetation biomass carbon in recent decades, but increasing droughts and wildfires threaten this carbon sink. Here, we analyse annual changes in live vegetation biomass in northern ecosystems using low-frequency microwave satellite observations at 25 km spatial resolution from 2010 to 2022. We find that live biomass carbon stocks have undergone a reversal from a positive to a negative trend du…
Heat waves, droughts and fires may soon hit together as 'new normal,' study finds
Heat waves, droughts and forest fires are some of the extreme climate-related events that are expected not only to become more frequent but also to increasingly strike at the same time. This finding emerges from a new study led by Uppsala University, in which researchers have mapped the impact of climate change in different regions of the world.
For multiple threats that are directly linked to the climate crisis and exacerbate the risks to forest ecosystems, infrastructure and residential areas, warns Professor of Geology and President of OASP, Efthymios Lekkas, speaking to ERTNews and the show “Weekend from 5”. Among other things, the professor criticizes the dramatic reduction of forest areas in Attica, focusing on forest fires, drought, but also the increased seismic activity in Gree…
The amphibians of this world are not doing well anyway. In many places, climate change consequences exacerbate the situation, researchers warn.
Various studies deal with the effects of extreme heat and drought times in regions around the world. Expert:innen clarify what the previous developments in heat deaths look like and what would be necessary to mitigate consequences.read more on t3n.de
