Cap Radio: A crucial part of California's ecosystem has almost disappeared. Mountain meadows act like natural reservoirs, storing and cleaning water. But they may have another benefit -- capturing greenhouse gases. Scientists are studying if restoring meadows can play a small part in combating climate change. When you imagine a meadow, you think about soggy ground with tall green grasses and maybe a shallow stream running through it. It's unlikely you'd imagine the place we're walking through now.

Climate change: Warm water is mixing up life in the Arctic
2015-11-20 18:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: The warming of arctic waters in the wake of climate change is likely to produce radical changes in the marine habitats of the High North. This is indicated by data from long-term observations in the Fram Strait, which researchers from the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) have now analysed. Their most important finding: even a short-term influx of warm water into the Arctic Ocean would suffice to fundamentally impact the local symbiotic communities, from the water's surface down to the deep seas. As...
