Realising the Benefits of Peatlands
... Peatlands have the potential to be a natural solution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. They hold a vast stock of carbon in their soils and can add more by sequestering carbon from the atmosphere. But this natural carbon capture and storage ability can only happen if peatland habitats are health ...

EFFECTS OF RISING SEAWATER TEMPERATURE ON CORAL

Overall, climate change should result in higher mean ocean cloudiness due to higher evaporation and atmosphere moisture content, which should lower coral growth rates, which are directly dependent on photosynthesis rates. However, this depends strongly on the local details of atmospheric circulation ...
