Global warming is changing soil chemistry, to the detriment of plant growth in the worlds dry regions
2013-11-04 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Summit County: After studying soil samples at more than 200 sites worldwide in a networked research projects, scientists say global warming is likely to change the balance of soil nutrients in drylands -- to the detriment of plant growth. Drylands cover about 41 percent of the earths surface. The study suggests that people -- about 20 percent of the world`s population -- who depend on those ecosystems for crops, livestock forage, fuel and fiber will find their resources increasingly restrained. The findings...

Climate change to disrupt soil nutrients in drylands
2013-11-02 13:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
SciDevNet: The increased aridity expected this century as a result of change may disrupt the balance of key soil nutrients with a knock-on effect on soil fertility threatening livelihoods of more than two billion people, a study finds. The drop in nitrogen and carbon concentrations that occurs as soils become dryer could have serious effects on ecosystem services such as food, carbon storage and biodiversity, according to the Nature paper published today. Loss of nitrogen and carbon, which are the basic building...
