Climate Change and Peatlands: Increased Non-growing Season Emissions
Using 13 years of Eddy Covariance CO2 flux measurements at a temperate peatland, we predict that future climate warming will increase non-growing season net ecosystem exchanges of CO2, with greater CO2 emissions resulting from increases in radiative forcing.
Expanding deserts drove mammals and hominids out of Eurasia into Africa
The emergence of deserts in Arabia had a decisive impact on the evolution and migratory movements of mammals including our human ancestors. This is one of our conclusions after studying a 10-million-year climate history of Arabia, respectively Mesopotamia.
