2024-02-01Unlocking the Secrets of Coastal 'Blue Carbon': The Microbial Mechanisms behind Mangrove Carbon SequestrationThe research team led by Prof . WANG Faming at the South China Botanical Garden , Chinese Academy of Sciences , has achieved breakthroughs in understanding the formation and microbial regulation of ' blue carbon ' in coastal zones .Researchers first examined the soil carbon accumulation in mangroves , revealing that plant sources are the primary...Read More -
2024-01-31Weakened increase in global near-surface water vapor pressure during the last 20 yearsThe increasing trend in global near-surface land and ocean actual water vapor pressure has weakened since the late 1990s .The near-surface actual water vapor pressure ( AVP ) strongly regulates surface vapor pressure deficit ( VPD ) , i . e . .Such weakened AVP is associated with a slowdown in oceanic evaporation ( more important ) and land surf...Read More -
