Large herbivores on permafrost— a pilot study of grazing impacts on permafrost soil carbon storage in northeastern Siber...
...
The risk of carbon emissions from permafrost is linked to an increase in ground temperature and thus in particular to thermal insulation by vegetation, soil layers and snow cover. Ground insulation can be influenced by the presence of large herbivores browsing for food in both winter and summer. In this study, we examine the potential impact of lar...
The handbook for standardized field and laboratory measurements in terrestrial climate change experiments and observatio...
...
Climate change is a world‐wide threat to biodiversity and ecosystem structure, functioning and services. To understand the underlying drivers and mechanisms, and to predict the consequences for nature and people, we urgently need better understanding of the direction and magnitude of climate change impacts across the soil–plant–atmosphere c...
Carbon data and its requirements in infrastructure-related GHG standards
Accurate carbon data is crucial for informed decision-making to achieve net-zero targets within the next several decades. However, data collection in the infrastructure sector faces significant challenges. Carbon data is either manually collected or extracted from design models, and carbon factors often come from secondary databases with varying bo...
Biofilm Development on Macroplastics along a Freshwater-Estuarine Gradient with Attention to Diatom Assemblages
Plastic pollution poses a significant and persistent threat to the health and functioning of aquatic ecosystems worldwide. The development of microbial communities on freshwater macroplastics can affect nutrient cycling and facilitate biotic dispersal, while characterisation of biofilm assemblages can inform on residency time, pathways and accumula...
Perspectives for Sustainability Analysis of Scalable Perovskite Photovoltaics
Halide perovskite photovoltaics (PVs) are poised to become a critical high-efficiency renewable energy technology in the fight against climate change. This perspective aims to ensure the viability of perovskite PV as a sustainable technology by focusing on key areas such as end-of-life management and sustainability analysis. It highlights the curre...

The global distribution and drivers of wood density and their impact on forest carbon stocks.
...
The density of wood is a key indicator of the carbon investment strategies of trees, impacting productivity and carbon storage. Despite its importance, the global variation in wood density and its environmental controls remain poorly understood, preventing accurate predictions of global forest carbon stocks. Here we analyse information from 1.1 mil...
Plastic pollution: What have we done? What more can we do?
Plastic pollution is an escalating global environmental crisis, adversely impacting ecosystems and human health across the globe (Farrelly et al., 2024). The increasing accumulation of plastic waste underscores the urgent need for robust recycling methods and innovative management strategies (Syberg et al., 2024). The magnitude of this issue has ca...
