Spatial and temporal patterns of mass bleaching of corals in the Anthropocene

Science, Journal Year: 2018, Volume and Issue: 359(6371), P. 80 - 83

Published: Jan. 5, 2018

Not enough time for recovery Coral bleaching occurs when stressful conditions result in the expulsion of algal partner from coral. Before anthropogenic climate warming, such events were relatively rare, allowing reef between events. Hughes et al. looked at 100 reefs globally and found that average interval is now less than half what it was before. Such narrow windows do not allow full recovery. Furthermore, warming as El Niño are warmer previously, general ocean conditions. changes likely to make more difficult recover Science , this issue p. 80

Longer and more frequent marine heatwaves over the past century

Nature Communications, Journal Year: 2018, Volume and Issue: 9(1)

Published: March 29, 2018

Heatwaves are important climatic extremes in atmospheric and oceanic systems that can have devastating long-term impacts on ecosystems, with subsequent socioeconomic consequences. Recent prominent marine heatwaves attracted considerable scientific public interest. Despite this, a comprehensive assessment of how these ocean temperature been changing globally is missing. Using range data including global records daily satellite observations, situ measurements gridded monthly situ-based sets, we identify significant increases over the past century. We find from 1925 to 2016, average heatwave frequency duration increased by 34% 17%, respectively, resulting 54% increase annual days globally. Importantly, trends largely be explained mean temperatures, suggesting expect further under continued warming.

Recent Advances and Challenges of Electrocatalytic N₂Reduction to Ammonia

Chemical Reviews, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 120(12), P. 5437 - 5516

Published: May 27, 2020

Global ammonia production reached 175 million metric tons in 2016, 90% of which is produced from high purity N2 and H2 gases at temperatures pressures via the Haber–Bosch process. Reliance on natural gas for results large energy consumption CO2 emissions. Concerns human-induced climate change are spurring an international scientific effort to explore new approaches reduce its carbon footprint. Electrocatalytic reduction attractive alternative that can potentially enable synthesis under milder conditions small-scale, distributed, on-site electrolysis cells powered by renewable electricity generated solar or wind sources. This review provides a comprehensive account theoretical experimental studies electrochemical nitrogen fixation with focus low selectivity versus protons H2. A detailed introduction detection methods execution control experiments given as they crucial accurate reporting findings. The main part this focuses progress has been achieved range conditions. Finally, comments current challenges potential opportunities field provided.

Plastic waste associated with disease on coral reefs

Science, Journal Year: 2018, Volume and Issue: 359(6374), P. 460 - 462

Published: Jan. 25, 2018

Corals wrapped in plastic Coral reefs provide vital fisheries and coastal defense, they urgently need protection from the damaging effects of waste. Lamb et al. surveyed 159 coral Asia-Pacific region. Billions items were entangled reefs. The more spikey species, likely to snag plastic. Disease likelihood increased 20-fold once a was draped Plastic debris stresses through light deprivation, toxin release, anoxia, giving pathogens foothold for invasion. Science , this issue p. 460
