Mangrove systems supply the equivalent of 64% of the neodymium input to Amazonian coastal seawater, according to chemical analyses of estuarine water, seawater and sediment samples from the Amazonian mangrove belt.

The risk of carbon release from the peatland carbon pool under natural climate change conditions is not substantial in the subtropical monsoon area, based on a reconstruction of fluxes of a mountainous peatland in Tianmu Mountain, China, over the past thousand years.

Methane-producing gas seeps exhibit chemical differences from fugitive gas leaks, including altered molecular ratios and ¹³C enrichment of propane and carbon dioxide, according to analysis of molecular and isotopic data from seeps and reservoirs.

Continued growth of carbon dioxide emissions occurred across Northern and Eastern China in the period 2012-2021, and a new growth hotspot emerged in Northwest China, according to a high-resolution top-down emissions inventory for East Asia.

Bio-cohesion, driven by organic matter content, controls the flocculation of suspended sediments on a coastal algal reef, resulting in larger, less dense flocs, according to field measurements of sediment mass and volume concentrations.

Harvesting young, planted forests and progressively replanting each year could substantially enhance future carbon sink potential in southern China, according to an assessment using fine-resolution satellite data, forest growth models, and machine learning

Carbonate precipitation by microbial mats in active hydrocarbon seeps can accelerate carbon sequestration in these settings by up to 25 times, according to analysis of a drill core from the South China Sea.

The upper mantle can be highly heterogeneous in its carbon isotopic signature, recording variable influence from subducted carbon, according to carbon isotopic measurements by secondary ion mass spectrometry in CO₂-undersaturated olivine-hosted melt inclusions in MORB basalt.

Application of [5%] biochar to soil could sequester around 10 billion tons of carbon in China’s soils, according to laboratory sorption experiments with pristine soil and four different biochar applications.

Instantaneous burial capturing animals alive may not be prerequisite for exceptional marine animal preservation and fossilization, according to experiments on marine and freshwater shrimps and cryogenic scanning electron microscopy data.

The proportion of posts on Reddit on the topic of climate change has declined between 2005 and 2021, according to analyses of 16 years of Reddit discussions that include 11.5 billion posts

By the end of the 21st century, African easterly wave activity over the Sahel-Sahara is expected to rise due to increased baroclinicity and low-level warming from reinforcing monsoon flow, impacting Saharan dust transport and mesoscale convective activity, according to analysis of an ensemble of Earth system models.

Since the 1980s, subsurface temperature seasonality in extratropical oceans has decreased by 5.7 ± 1.8% below the mixed layer due to increased heat uptake from greenhouse gases, strengthening upper ocean stratification, and limiting heat penetration into deeper layers, according to analysis of a hierarchy of climate models and an idealized diffusive model.

China’s carbon dioxide emissions from industrial processes and product use were 1628 million metric tons in 2020, and the main driver of the emission growth over the past two decades is per capita construction area, according to an analysis that uses industrial production and process data.

Over 62% of rocket launch sites are located within or near to protected areas worldwide, which could threaten conservation goals, according to mapping of global rocket launch sites along with biome and threatened terrestrial species datasets.

Environmental DNA studies focus more on microbes, invertebrates, and temperate ecosystems, compared to biodiversity-focused forest carbon projects, and both areas need to align to facilitate improved biodiversity monitoring in the forest carbon market, according to the three-phase systematic analysis.

Climate change has increased the frequency and intensity of temperature extremes, especially in the Mediterranean, where the concurrence of marine and atmospheric heatwaves amplifies marine heatwave intensity, while atmospheric heatwaves show no significant changes, according to a spatiotemporal approach to heatwave detection.

A strong link between stand structure and primary productivity is pervasively found in forests across the pantropical region, according to an analysis of GEDI lidar data and Sentinel remote sensing imagery.
