Scientists use 'leaf glow' to understand changing climate
Phys.org - 2024-04-25T19:58:03.000Z

New University of Minnesota research suggests "leaf glow" provides vital information on vegetation dynamics in Arctic and boreal ecosystems like Minnesota's forests and wetlands, which are among the fastest warming in the world. Using remote sensing to monitor the natural glow may help scientists better track climate change and its impact on our natural resources.

Artificial intelligence helps scientists engineer plants to fight climate change
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has declared that removing carbon from the atmosphere is now essential to fighting climate change and limiting global temperature rise. To support these efforts, Salk Institute scientists are harnessing plants' natural ability to draw carbon dioxide out of the air by optimizing their root systems to store more carbon for a longer period of time.

Beyond Carbon Capture: Using Trees and Forests to Fight Climate Change
Climate change has taken up a permanent presence in our global discourse. The broad issue is complex, riddled with an assortment of challenges.Yet in the mainstream, the idea of climate change is regularly oversimplified, and the conversation around this multifaceted topic invariably circles back to one element: carbon.As the primary contributor to the greenhouse effect and our changing climate, it’s understandable why carbon – and its capture and removal – has become the central character in...
