[ad_1] Where water is scarce, land dries up causing crop failure and people’s health is at risk from lack of drinking water. Since warmer air can hold more water, climate change is also leading to heavier rainfall and extreme floods in other areas. This claims lives, destroys homes and infrastructure, and puts a huge economic […]

[ad_1] Feike Dijkstra discusses his recent article: Continuous remobilization from belowground provides more than half of all carbon and nitrogen in regrowing shoots after grassland defoliation. Find out more about how C and N remobilization have important consequences for how grasslands respond to grazing intensity and global change factors: 🌱 What we found When aboveground tissue […]

[ad_1] Joshua Wilson discusses recent research at Moreton Bay, Australia which saw Wilson and colleagues conduct over 200 drone approaches of shorebird flocks to measure how the birds respond to drones. Particular attention is paid to the critically endangered Eastern Curlew. Stress responses Imagine you’re resting in your bed when, out of the corner of […]

[ad_1] Runa Magnusson discusses her recent article: Spatiotemporal variability in precipitation-growth relations of Betula nana in the Siberian lowland tundra. Warming, greening, thawing – The Arctic is a place of rapid warming and environmental change, with temperatures increasing three to four times faster than the global average. Impacts on Arctic ecosystems and communities include, among […]

[ad_1] This blog post is also available in Swedish here. Fabian Boetzl talks us through his and his colleagues’ new research on landscape-based strategies to reduce insect pest pressure and crop damage. The problem Systemic neonicotinoid insecticides are detrimental to a wide range of beneficial biodiversity, with wild bees as the most prominent example. Due […]

[ad_1] The European Commission today adopted a new set of guidelines to assist Member States in updating and implementing comprehensive national adaptation strategies, plans and policies in line with the European Climate Law and the EU Strategy on adaptation to climate change.
