Plants in tropical dry areas have developed an unusual strategy for survival. Instead of using their water supply during the dry season, they hold on to the last drops until the very end in order to quickly get started on photosynthesis as soon as the rainy season has begun. Using satellite technology, researchers have now managed to investigate the storage of water in plants worldwide. The resear

Actic expeditions - very expensive as well as time consuming and sometimes dangerous. Researchers Hakim Abdi and Daniel Metcalfe about unevenly distributed research. The Arctic is a remote and hard to reach area, which affects where research expeditions go and where climate scientists set up their field experiments. "The result is an extremely uneven concentration of research effort", states Hakim

VIDEO: Researchers from our department are measuring terpene particles emitted by spruce/fir forests, which are believed to have a cooling effect on the climate. They believe that planting more of this type of forest could help offset global warming. – Planting spruce forests could increase the carbon uptake. They would release aerosol particles which have a cooling effect on the earth, Janne Rinn

Climate change causes an amplified warming of the Arctic, which may lead to the release of methane from previously frozen soils. Since it’s a strong greenhouse gas, arctic methane release can act as a positive feedback on climate change. However, anthropogenic efforts to reduce methane emissions may be more important for the direction of future climate warming. Torben R. Christensen and Frans-Jan

A warming experiment in a subarctic birch forest resulted many times higher release of BVOCs. Not to be neglected in the climate discussions, says one of the researchers behind the study. Ecosystems and the climate change response, as well as the feedbacks of these, are complicated to fully understand and to map out. As the currently ongoing climate change amplifies the temperature, plants respond
