"Simulations that do not include these interactions significantly underestimate the total." Scientists issue warning after ...

Earth’s climate is shifting faster than many models anticipated, and scientists now warn that self-reinforcing feedbacks could push key systems beyond their stable range. Instead of a smooth, ...

Researchers report the results of an eight-year experiment in grassland plant communities enriching carbon dioxide levels from pre-industrial to projected mid-21st century levels, and found that ...

As greenhouse gases pour into the atmosphere, global temperatures rise smoothly and predictably in response. It’s the fundamental basis of climate change, the physical law that’s been reshaping the ...

Many scientists, policymakers, and engaged citizens have become concerned over the possibility that manmade greenhouse gas emissions, in particular carbon dioxide (CO2), may be causing dangerous ...

Temporal fluctuations in plant species coexistence are key to understanding ecosystem state transitions and long-term maintenance of species diversity. Although plant microbiomes can alter plant ...

Global heating over this millennium could exceed previous estimates due to carbon cycle feedback loops. This is the conclusion of a new study by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) ...
