Glacier-fed streams (GFS) feature among Earth’s most extreme aquatic ecosystems marked by pronounced oligotrophy and environmental fluctuations. Microorganisms mainly organize in biofilms within them, but how they cope with such conditions is unknown. Here ...
CO2 mineralization products are often heralded as having outstanding potentials to reduce CO2-eq. emissions. However, these claims are generally undermined by incomplete consideration of the life cycle climate change impacts, material properties, supply an ...
This study contrasts two different approaches to inform European-scale decision-making to mitigate the environmental impacts of the end-of-life tires (ELT) management system. The first analysis is a traditional life cycle assessment (LCA) that compares the ...
Journal of Ecology published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd on behalf of British Ecological Society.Tree species diversity in forest ecosystems could reduce their vulnerability to extreme droughts through improved microclimate and below-ground water source parti ...
Climate change and human activity are leading to water scarcity in southwestern Europe. Groundwater use is thought to be unsustainable in the region, yet regional assessments using measured data are missing. Here, we evaluate long-term trends and drivers o ...
Ammonia (NH3) is a promising fuel for use in marine applications due to its favorable chemical properties. However, emissions of especially nitrous oxide (N2O), with a global warming potential (GWP) of 273, pose a significant barrier to the adoption of NH3 ...
Boreal regions are changing rapidly with anthropogenic global warming. In order to assess risks and impacts of this process, it is crucial to put these observed changes into a long-term perspective. Summer air temperature variability can be well reconstruc ...
The first observation of the Bs0→ D∗+D∗− decay and the measurement of its branching ratio relative to the B0→ D∗+D∗− decay are presented. The data sample used corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb−1−1 of proton-proton collisions recorded by the ...
Climate change exposes ecosystems to strong and rapid changes in their environmental boundary conditions mainly due to the altered temperature and precipitation patterns. It is still poorly understood how fast interlinked ecosystem processes respond to alt ...
