New Study Reveals Plant Immune System’s Regulation of Iron Uptake
Plants have long been known to have a sophisticated defense system against pathogens. However, a recent study published in Nature sheds light on a new aspect of plant immunity – the regulation of iron uptake. Researchers have discovered that when…
The Impact of Solid Material Injection into the Stratosphere on Climate Change
As the levels of greenhouse gases continue to rise in Earth’s atmosphere, scientists are exploring various methods to temporarily mitigate the impact of climate change. One such method involves the injection of aerosols into the stratosphere to reflect incoming sunlight,…
Atmospheric CO2 at Record High of 419 ppm Due to Human Activities, Study Finds
Scientists have discovered that the concentration of atmospheric CO2 is currently at a record high of 419 ppm due to human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels. This has led to the highest levels of carbon dioxide in the…
New Method Developed to Remove Methane from the Air
Researchers from the University of Copenhagen and spin-out company Ambient Carbon have developed a unique method to remove methane from the air, offering a potential solution to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from sources such as livestock housing, biogas production plants,…
Study Reveals Impact of Permafrost Thaw on High-Latitude Food Webs and Carbon Fluxes
Alaska is facing the brunt of climate change, with rapid warming leading to the thawing of permafrost in the state’s interior. This thaw not only releases stored carbon into the atmosphere, exacerbating rising temperatures but also triggers decomposition, potentially impacting…
