Scientists reduce uncertainties in future climate prediction by directly coupling an energy-economy model to an Earth system model.
Scientists show that grasslands are more sensitive to changes in the amount of moisture in the air than to changes in precipitation.
Scientists evaluate seven models to understand how each model agrees and differs.
Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) observations provide clues on atmospheric contributions to an Antarctic melt event.
A geospatial analysis determined the optimal distribution of sites needed to reliably estimate Alaska’s vast soil carbon.
Molecular-level understanding of cellulose structure reveals why it resists degradation and could lead to cost-effective biofuels.
Lignocellulose-degrading enzyme complexes could improve biofuel production.
More frequent storms turn forests from carbon source to sink.
Monoterpene measures how certain forests respond to heat stress.
Whether carbon comes from leaves or needles affects how fast it decomposes, but where it ends up determines how long it’s available.
Stress-induced embolisms that interrupt water transport are a universal component of tree mortality.
Switchgrass cultivated during a year of severe drought inhibited microbial fermentation and resulting biofuel production.
