Climate Change Destroys Sharks' Hunting Abilities

Researchers found that sharks and other large marine predators are losing their hunting abilities due to warmer oceans and high levels of CO2. This reduces sharks' growth and development, and their population declines at the same time.

Climate Change: Carbon Storage May Decrease in Forests in the Next 25 Years

Forests in the United States may store far less carbon in the coming years. Scientists have found that carbon sequestration in U.S. forests may change over the next 25 years.

Sharks May Lose Their Hunting Abilities and Sense of Smell with Climate Change

Climate change may drastically impact the hunting ability of sharks. As CO2 levels increase and as ocean waters warm, researchers have found that sharks may be unable to meet their energy demands.

Invasive Marine Species Benefiting From High Carbon Dioxide Levels

In a recent study, researchers found that marine invasive species such as jellyfish and algae are benefiting from rising carbon dioxide levels in the ocean. These invasive species are inhabiting new areas of the planet, where they are destroying ecosystems.

Hydrothermal Vents: Scientists Find Carbon-Removing Properties In Deep Sea

In a recent study, scientists researched deep-sea hydrothermal vents and how they influence ocean carbons. The researchers found that organic carbon is removed from ocean water when it is heated through hydrothermal vents, which are like hot spots on the ocean floor.

Vines May Strangle Carbon Storage in Tropical Forests by Inhibiting Tree Growth

It turns out that woody wines, or lianas, slow tropical forest tree growth and may actually cause premature tree death, limiting tropical forest carbon uptake.

Climate Change: New Forests Don't Store As Much Carbon as Previously Thought

Forests are often planted to help with carbon capture and storage. But exactly how effective are these trees at keeping carbon? Scientists have found that predictions for carbon storage may just be overestimated.
