Employing biodiversity to reduce pesticide risk
Biodiversity (eg., crop diversification, crop-domestic animal co-culture, and crop-edible fungus co-culture) has been proved to be a useful way to suppress pests and therefore to reduce pesticide risk in farming.
Distinct anthropogenic aerosol and greenhouse gas effects on El Niño/Southern Oscillation variability
El Niño/Southern Oscillation variability has conspicuous impacts on ecosystems and extreme weather. Here, we investigate the effects of anthropogenic aerosols and greenhouse gases on ENSO variability during the historical period using a broad set of climate models.
Extreme heatwaves could intensify much more than expected with climate change
It is known that heatwaves become more severe as the climate warms. But a new study led by the University of Graz now shows that the most extreme heat events may intensify much stronger than previously expected.
