This study examines how altered environmental conditions due to climate change, particularly an altered flooding regime of the Okavango Delta, could affect the dispersal and connectivity of the endangered African wild dog. Using flood scenarios representing pronounced dry and wet periods, we find that more extreme floods can alter dispersal patterns...

We developed a generally applicable and multi-scale model for the impact of trees in mitigating cattle heat stress. Trees can reduce cattle heat stress by up to 30% and hold the greatest potential to reduce cattle heat stress in higher latitudes and altitudes. In 2070–2080, existing trees were model to contribute substantially to New Zealand milk...

By implementing climate-smart agricultural practices, we can amplify the storage of carbon within microbial residues, offering promising avenues in the fight against climate change. These enhancements are intricately tied to an array of factors including soil properties, climatic conditions, and biological dynamics, with alterations in living microbial...

At a wet location in the tropics, we demonstrate that changes in how plants allocate carbon (for growth or respiration) can be determined using model data fusion (constraining model runs with observations through a Bayesian statistical method), rather than relying on difficult direct measurements. The models show that changes in plant growth at this...

We investigated the impact of melting glaciers and wastewater in the Arctic on the aquatic resistome. Plasmids, small genetic carriers known for transferring antibiotic resistance genes among bacteria were our target. By studying these genetic elements in glacial ice and nearby waters of Svalbard, we uncovered the presence of the unique as well unexpected...

We found that the simultaneous occurrence of several human-induced stressors in streams increases the concentrations of greenhouse gases in their waters, potentially exacerbating climate crisis. Our results also indicate that the scale at which human impacts occur has different effects on carbon dioxide and methane concentrations. Collectively, our...
