Dynamic change of calcium-rich compartments during coccolithophore biomineralization

Manuel Guizar Sicairos

Coccolithophores are abundant marine phytoplankton that produce biomineralized calcite scales, called coccoliths, which sequester substantial amounts of carbon and play a substantial role in biogeochemical cycles. However, mechanisms underlying the storage ...

A robust asymptotic control model to analyze climate policy with CDR options

Marc Vielle

A three-region optimal economic growth model is proposed to represent the global energy transition to net-zero emissions when carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies are available. The main features of the model are (i) the representation of the economy ...

Flood, farms and credit: The role of branch banking in the era of climate change

Seyed Javad Kashizadeh

Using Iran's unexpected flood in April 2019 as a natural experiment, we show that local branches bridge the time gap between the disaster and governmental aids by immediately increasing their lending for two months following the flood. Analyzing proprietar ...

Biological and dust aerosols as sources of ice-nucleating particles in the eastern Mediterranean: Source apportionment, atmospheric processing and parameterization

Alexis Berne, Athanasios Nenes, Anne-Claire Marie Billault--Roux, Paraskevi Georgakaki, Kunfeng Gao, Romanos Foskinis

Aerosol-cloud interactions in mixed-phase clouds (MPCs) are one of the most uncertain drivers of the hydrological cycle and climate change. A synergy of in situ, remote-sensing and modelling experiments were used to determine the source of ice-nucleating p ...

The impacts of rising vapour pressure deficit in natural and managed ecosystems

Charlotte Grossiord

An exponential rise in the atmospheric vapour pressure deficit (VPD) is among the most consequential impacts of climate change in terrestrial ecosystems. Rising VPD has negative and cascading effects on nearly all aspects of plant function including photos ...

From roots to canopy: Unraveling the influence of species diversity on tree water relations under warmer and drier climates

Eugénie Isabelle Mas

The worsening of drought events with rising air temperature alters tree water relations causing severe hydraulic impairments and widespread forest mortality. Mixing tree species with contrasting hydraulic traits could reduce forest vulnerability to extreme ...

Near-bed stratification controls bottom hypoxia in ice-covered alpine lakes

Damien Bouffard, Hugo Nicolás Ulloa Sánchez, Camille Roland Marie Minaudo, Janine Rüegg, Nicolas Thomas Georges Escoffier, Tomy Doda, Hannah Elisa Chmiel, Pascal Perolo

In ice-covered lakes, near-bottom oxygen concentration decreases for most of the wintertime, sometimes down to the point that bottom waters become hypoxic. Studies insofar have reached divergent conclusions on whether climate change limits or reinforces th ...
