The co-production of knowledge for climate science
Indigenous and Western knowledge ethically combined is uniquely suited to address ongoing climate challenges. To build an environment where Western and Indigenous knowledge systems...
Increasing hypoxia on global coral reefs under ocean warming
AbstractOcean deoxygenation is predicted to threaten marine ecosystems globally. However, current and future oxygen concentrations and the occurrence of hypoxic events on coral reefs...
Increasing the number of stressors reduces soil ecosystem services worldwide
AbstractIncreasing the number of environmental stressors could decrease ecosystem functioning in soils. Yet this relationship has not been globally assessed outside laboratory experiments. Here,...
Countries’ long-term climate strategies fail to define residual emissions
Achieving net zero means balancing remaining emissions with carbon removal, and understanding the nature and scope of residual emissions is key to planning decarbonized...
Large sinuous rivers are slowing down in a warming Arctic
AbstractArctic regions are disproportionately affected by atmospheric warming, with cascading effects on multiple surface processes. Atmospheric warming is destabilizing permafrost, which could weaken riverbanks...
Diverse carbon dioxide removal approaches could reduce impacts on the energy–water–land system
AbstractCarbon dioxide removal (CDR) is a critical tool in all plans to limit warming to below 1.5 °C, but only a few CDR pathways have...
Why residual emissions matter right now
AbstractNet-zero targets imply that continuing residual emissions will be balanced by carbon dioxide removal. However, residual emissions are typically not well defined, conceptually or...
