Plants Buy Us Time to Slow Climate Change – But Not Enough to Stop It

December 8, 2021

This news release appeared first at newscenter.lbl.gov A new study finds that plants are photosynthesizing more in response to more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, but nowhere near enough to remove all emissions. (Credit: baona/iStock) Because plants take up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and convert it into food, forests and other similar ecosystems are considered…

Improved Earth System Model Could Help Better Predict Impact of Extreme Events

November 10, 2021

This article appeared originally at newscenter.lbl.gov A model of the North American Regionally Refined Model grid showing the grid refinement that includes a 100-kilometer grid globally and 25 kilometers over North America. DOE’s Earth system model has been improved to create more realistic simulations of different ecosystem factors that are influenced by environmental changes. (Credit:…

Ecosense Technology Wins Bayer Competition

October 27, 2021

When a plant is beleaguered by drought, contaminated soils, or any other stressor, the earliest and best indicators are often not obvious in its leaves, or stems, flowers or fruit. For crops or houseplants, shrubs or grasses, the early-warning signs of stress are out of sight, out of mind in the last place anyone ever…

EESA Climate Scientists Participate in Study Exploring How Life Emerges On Barren Landscapes

October 13, 2021

This article has been adapted from its original publication at the University of Arizona website. It was authored by Daniel Stolte. The National Science Foundation has awarded $3.5 million to a team led by University of Arizona researchers to study how life prevails in barren landscapes, such as those disturbed by wildfires, volcanic eruptions or…

International Early-Career Cohort Seeks to Enhance Collaboration Among Critical Zone Researchers

August 6, 2021

Earth’s critical zone spans from the top of the tree canopy to the depths of the subsurface. Researchers across the world study instrumented critical zone observatories and equivalent watershed sites to examine hydrological fluxes, energy matter, and biogeochemical cycles for insights into how factors like land use and climate change are affecting Earth systems. Now…
