New study explores survival strategies by invasive macroalgae and native limu in spring-fed nearshore ecosystems
In this project, University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa botanists measured survival of invasive macroalgae and limu (Hawaiian macroalgae) in brackish nearshore springs (submarine groundwater discharge, SGD), where the tidal cycle drives extreme daily fluctuations in salinity.
Fire is already Weakening the Worlds Carbon Sinks
As global temperatures hit 1.3°C, fires are already disrupting ecosystems and limiting their ability to absorb carbon. Climate policy must recognize how fires affect remaining carbon budgets as well as fires impact on people and the planet, even before reaching the Paris Agreement's 1.5°C target.
