Coral histology reveals consistent declines in tissue integrity during a marine heatwave despite differences in bleaching severity by Elisa Kruse, Kristen T. Brown, Katie L. Barott

“…Our results suggest that histology is a valuable tool for revealing the harmful effects of marine heatwaves on corals before they are visually evident as bleaching, and may thus improve the predictability of ecosystem changes following climate change-driven heat stress by providing a more comprehensive assessment of coral health.…”

Accounting for differences between crops and regions reduces estimates of nitrate leaching from nitrogen-fertilized soils by Yan Wang, Yihong Liu, Longlong Xia, Hiroko Akiyama, Xinli Chen, Ji Chen, Yunying Fang, Tony Vancov, Yongfu Li, YuanZhi Yao, Dianming Wu, Bing Yu, Scott X. Chang, Yanjiang Cai

“…Global cropland NO3 − leaching from synthetic N fertilization, calculated through spatially explicit (15.4, 14.8–16.1 Tg N yr–1) and crop-specific (12.9, 11.0–14.8 Tg N yr–1) LFs, is 41% lower than the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Tier 1 global inventory. Over 47% of this leaching is concentrated in China, India, and the United States, with maize, wheat, rice and vegetables accounting for nearly half of it. …”
