How Northern European waters soak up carbon dioxide
2016-02-25 16:10:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: The seas around the UK and the rest of northern Europe take up a staggering 24 million tonnes of carbon each year. It is a mass equivalent to two million double-decker buses or 72,000 747 jets. The number was produced by scientists studying the movement of carbon dioxide into and out of the oceans. The team, led by Heriot-Watt University and Exeter University, has produced a software "engine" that will allow other scientists to do the same for different parts of the globe. "It's a software toolbox...

Urban soils release surprising amounts of carbon dioxide
2016-02-23 23:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: In the concrete jungle at the core of a city, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are dominated by the fossil fuels burned by the dense concentrations of cars and buildings. Boston University researchers now have shown, however, that in metropolitan areas surrounding the city core, plant roots and decomposing organic material in soil give off enough CO2 , in a process termed "soil respiration," to make an unexpectedly great contribution to total emissions. In fact, analyzing CO2 released from soil respiration...

Antarctic ice sheet is more vulnerable to carbon dioxide than expected
2016-02-23 01:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Results from a new climate reconstruction of how Antarctica's ice sheets responded during the last period when atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) reached levels like those expected to occur in about 30 years, plus sediment core findings reported in a companion paper, suggest that the ice sheets are more vulnerable to rising atmospheric CO2 than previously thought. Details appear in two papers in the current Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Researchers led by Edward Gasson and...
Enhanced levels of carbon dioxide are likely cause of global dryland greening, study says
2016-02-16 23:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Enhanced levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide are a likely key driver of global dryland greening, according to a paper published in the journal Scientific Reports. The positive trend in vegetation greenness has been observed through satellite images, but the reasons for it had been unclear. After analyzing 45 studies from eight countries, Lixin Wang, assistant professor of earth sciences in the School of Science at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, and a Ph.D. student in Wang's...
