Since 1880, #climatechange has caused the average global temperature to climb by 1.1 degrees Celsius (source: NASA). This means the number of really hot days and heat waves has increased with a variety of severe implications. To adapt public…
A recent study published at Ecology Letters sheds light on understanding the mechanisms behind disrupted insect evolution. This can help implement conservation measures that promote adaptation & safeguard insect populations & the ecosystems…
Chennai has seen an increase in the frequency of heavy rains and floods as a result of #climatechange. Flooding hampers daily activity, destroys transit infrastructure like rail stations and bus stops, and creates interruptions in service, leaving…
A new study from TU München reveals that as trees grow faster, their wood density decreases, reducing carbon absorption by up to 50%. This poses challenges for both climate change mitigation and tree resilience against mechanical stresses.
