Biofortification of microgreens with zinc could mitigate global "hidden hunger"
When the seeds of plants such as pea and sunflower are biofortified with zinc, the seedlings they quickly produce—harvested as microgreens—could both help to mitigate global malnutrition and boost the odds of people surviving a catastrophe......»»
Scientists explore how single-atom catalysts impact water purification in advanced oxidation process
The rapid increase in global industrialization in the past centuries has resulted in the disposal of excessive toxic pollutants into the environment, seriously threatening the aquatic ecosystem and human health. Peroxymonosulfate-based advanced oxida.....»»
Researchers investigate changes in surface heat fluxes on sensitive areas for the slopes of Mt Everest
Under the background of global warming, the Mount Everest region has experienced evident climate changes. Glaciers and snow have been rapidly retreating in this region. These changes increase the rate of warming and water scarcity in downstream areas.....»»
Asian forests show resilience despite rising disturbances from climate change and human activities
Since 1850, global temperatures have been steadily rising. Human activities have significantly increased the emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, exacerbating the greenhouse effect and global warming. Forests in Asia have faced numerous.....»»
Health risks from global warming can help drive city climate action, study finds
Cities around the world were more likely to maintain climate action and enact "green recovery" long-term plans after the pandemic if local decision-makers were more alert to the health risks of climate change, a new global study has shown......»»
Global activity of seafloor biodiversity mapped for the first time
A team of scientists from the U.S. and the U.K. has used artificial intelligence (AI) to map the activities of seafloor invertebrate animals, such as worms, clams and shrimps, across all the oceans of the world......»»
Tropical forest resilience to seasonal drought linked to nutrient availability
Tropical forests are highly productive ecosystems, accounting for nearly half of the global forest carbon sink. If tropical forests can no longer remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, the effects of climate change may become even more severe......»»
Q&A: Plastic waste is a global problem, but carbon recycling can help
Heavy industries such as aviation and chemical manufacturing contribute to about 20% of overall U.S. greenhouse gas emissions and will continue to depend on fossil fuels......»»
