Climate Warming Linked with Prolonged Time Interval Between Leaf-Out and Flowering in Temperate Trees

An international team of researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Zhejiang A & F University and the University of Eastern Finland have found that regardless of whether flowering or leaf unfolding occurred first in a species, the first event advanced more than the second over the last seven decades.

Novel Method to Predict Global Warming with Lower Uncertainties

According to a new study, the threshold for hazardous global warming will probably be encountered between 2027 and 2042, which is a considerably narrower window compared to the predictions of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change for the period between now and 2052.

CRISPR/Cas9 System Could Support Efforts to Conserve Fragile Reef Ecosystems

Researchers can now use the CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing system to gain insights into, and perhaps enhance, the response of corals to the environmental stresses caused by climate change.

Research Shows Arctic Gains and Tropical Losses Due to Earth’s Changing Climate

More plants and longer growing seasons in the northern latitudes have converted parts of Alaska, Canada and Siberia to deeper shades of green. Some studies translate this Arctic greening to a greater global carbon uptake. But new research shows that as Earth's climate is changing, increased carbon absorption by plants in the Arctic is being offset by a corresponding decline in the tropics.

Roadmap for Renewable Power Aligns Climate Change and Sustainable Development Goals

While the pressures of climate change bring a sense of urgency to renewable energy development, a new study serves as a roadmap toward uniting the goals of a low-carbon future with that of ecological sustainability and conservation.

Study Indicates Sea-Level Rise Could be Higher than Predicted

According to a new report, if climate change is not challenged, sea levels may rise higher than present estimates by 2100.

Climate Change Causes Change in Global Precipitation Patterns

The Earth's climate system is largely determined by the differences in temperature between the tropics and the poles. Global warming is likely to cause global atmospheric circulation to change and progressively revert to a situation similar to that of 5,000 to 10,000 years ago.

Grape Varieties in Dry Regions Exhibit Traits to Cope with Climate Change

Several grape-cultivating regions across the globe are expected to become too hot and dry to produce high-quality wine from conventional varieties due to the effect of climate change.
