  • Critical needs to close monitoring gaps in pan-tropical wetland CH 4 emissions

    Open AccessQing Zhu, Kunxiaojia Yuan et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    Global wetlands are the largest and most uncertain natural source of atmospheric methane (CH 4 ). The FLUXNET-CH 4 synthesis initiative has established a global network of flux tower infrastructure, offering valuable data products and fostering a dedicated community for the measurement and analysis of methane flux data. Existing studies using the FLUXNET-CH 4 Community Product v1.0 have provided invaluable insights into the drivers of ecosystem-t…

  • Question-Led Innovation

    Open AccessEmily Cox, Richard P Lim et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Policy2024References: 6

    When upscaling novel techniques for Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR), public attitudes are crucial, yet there is a serious lack of social science research outside of Western nations. CDR research can clearly benefit from maximising inclusion and opening up to diverse perspectives, including those of local communities, and ideally should involve public insight into the questions we should be prioritising. This paper reports results from a major delibe…

  • A multi-model analysis of risk of ecosystem shifts under climate change

    Open AccessLila Warszawski, A D Friend et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2013

    Climate change may pose a high risk of change to Earth’s ecosystems: shifting climatic boundaries may induce changes in the biogeochemical functioning and structures of ecosystems that render it difficult for endemic plant and animal species to survive in their current habitats. Here we aggregate changes in the biogeochemical ecosystem state as a proxy for the risk of these shifts at different levels of global warming. Estimates are based on simu…

  • Target Atmospheric CO

    Open AccessJames Hansen, Makiko Sato et al.ARTICLEThe Open Atmospheric Science…2008

    Paleoclimate data show that climate sensitivity is ~3°C for doubled CO 2 , including only fast feedback processes. Equilibrium sensitivity, including slower surface albedo feedbacks, is ~6°C for doubled CO 2 for the range of climate states between glacial conditions and ice-free Antarctica. Decreasing CO was the main cause of a cooling trend that began 50 million years ago, the planet being nearly ice-free until CO fell to 450 ± 100 ppm; barring …

  • The Emerald Planet

    David J Beerling, David BeerlingBOOKThe Emerald Planet2007

    Global warming is contentious and difficult to measure, even among the majority of scientists who agree that it is taking place. Will temperatures rise by 2oC or 8oC over the next hundred years? Will sea levels rise by 2 or 30 feet? The only way that we can accurately answer questions like these is by looking into the distant past, for a comparison with the world long before the rise of mankind. We may currently believe that atmospheric shifts, l…

  • A Holocene CO2 record from the stomatal index of subfossil Salix herbacea L. leaves from northern Sweden

    Open AccessMats Rundgren, David J Beerling et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene1999Cited by: 1References: 5

    A stomatal-based method of palaeo-CO 2 estimation has been applied to a temporally detailed sequence of leaves from a high-latitude lake (68°N) in northern Sweden spanning the last 9000 years. The resulting atmospheric CO 2 reconstruction documents the onset of a gradual increase c. 5000 years before present indicating that the carbon cycle has not been in steady state over this time. Stable carbon isotope (δ 13 C) measurements of the subfossil l…
