Recent research unveils how climate change is reshaping food webs and carbon flow in high-latitude ecosystems, with increased fungi consumption and shifts in carbon sources. These critical changes affect nutrient cycling and ecosystem stability. Understanding this complexity is vital for effective conservation. Let's discuss how we can protect these fragile environments. #ClimateChange #Ecosystems #Conservation What are your thoughts on preserving high-latitude regions?

The increasing frequency of extreme weather events caused by climate change, the loss of fertile soil and biodiversity loss are challenging the food security and the future of food production worldwide. However, soil management offers solutions to these challenges.

Why are soil and soil health key to building resilience to climate change? The world’s #soil is key to healthy ecosystems, but much is degraded. Leigh Winowiecki, Soil and Land Health Global Research Lead explains its importance and how CIFOR-ICRAF will celebrate #WorldSoilDay 2023 at #COP28UAE.

#BiodiversityStripes The climate warming stripes were created by Professor Ed Hawkins at the University of Reading in 2018. Climate change has been found to get up to eight times more coverage than biodiversity loss. Professor Miles Richardson (@findingnature) from the University of Derby created the biodiversity stripes in August 2022 and set up biodiversitystripes.info. Only by addressing both the warming climate and loss of wildlife do we stand a chance of passing on a stable planet for future generations. The ‘biodiversity stripes’ provide a visual representation of the change in biodiversity over time, often since 1970. The highest level of biodiversity is coloured bright green. Lower levels move through yellow to grey, depending upon the level of decline. Darker greys appear with greater declines. The original stripes used data from the Living Planet Index. This data tells us that the population of mammals, birds, fish, amphibians and reptiles has seen an average drop of 69% globally since 1970. The global data includes over 30,000 populations of over 5000 species. The UK stripes use JNCC UK biodiversity indicators.

This is what a world out of balance looks like. No wonder we have converging crises of biodiversity, fresh water, and climate. When we destroy nature we destroy ourselves. There is no planet B. #ActOnClimate #ClimateEmergency #climate #energy #biodversity #rewilding

Can Ai solve this?

Addressing air pollution is crucial not only for the health of our planet but also for ensuring food security for current and future generations. Implementing measures to reduce air pollution, such as transitioning to cleaner energy sources and implementing sustainable agricultural practices, is essential to protect our food supply and promote a healthier environment

We all are cautious about the quality of food that we eat in terms of calories and constituents, we do mind the quality of water we drink. Ironically, we bother least when it comes to engulf air into our lungs. Bad in/out door air quality has detrimental effects on our health. Here we analyzed dust micrbiomes and associated health impacts in this article. https://lnkd.in/d3sfmEDV
