Catastrophic loss of Cambodia’s tropical flooded grasslands Posted: 17 Mar 2013 07:14 PM PDT New research reveals the catastrophic loss of Cambodia’s tropical flooded grasslands. Around half of Cambodia’s tropical flooded grasslands have been lost in just 10 years according to new research. |

When it rains these days, does it pour? Has the weather become stormier as the climate warms? Posted: 17 Mar 2013 12:48 PM PDT Scientists have shown that the signature of an increase in storminess could be extracted from precipitation data for the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State. The scientists suspect the same signature lies hidden under naturally stormier weather at other locations as well. |

Ocean plankton sponge up nearly twice the carbon currently assumed Posted: 17 Mar 2013 12:47 PM PDT Models of carbon dioxide in the world’s oceans need to be revised, according to new work. Trillions of plankton near the surface of warm waters are far more carbon-rich than has long been thought, they found. |
