Greening of Svalbard in the twentieth century driven by sea ice loss and glaciers retreat by Gianmarco Ingrosso, Chiara Ceccarelli, Federico Giglio, Patrizia Giordano, Jens Hefter, Leonardo Langone, Stefano Miserocchi, Gesine Mollenhauer, Alessio Nogarotto, Mathia Sabino, Tommaso Tesi

“…Abstract The greening of previously barren landscapes in the Arctic is one of the most relevant responses of terrestrial ecosystem to climate change. Analyses of satellite data (available since ~1980) have revealed a widespread tundra advance consistent with recent global warming, but the length is insufficient to resolve the long-term variability and the precise timing of the greening onset. …”

Co-location of seaweed farming with offshore wind energy: a quick scoping review by Brianna Coffey, Cortni Borgerson, Pankaj Lal, Colette J. Feehan

“…Differences in cultivated species were evident, with red seaweeds dominating the general literature and brown seaweeds dominating wind-focused studies. Ecosystem service analysis revealed that provisioning services were disproportionately emphasized, while cultural services were underrepresented in wind-focused studies as compared to the general literature. …”

Vegetation types shape the soil micro-food web compositions and soil multifunctionality in Loess Plateau by Zhiming Chen, Wenjuan Kang, Renyuan He, Guang Li, Zhuzhu Luo, Zhuzhu Luo

“…Vegetation restoration has been recognized as an effective approach to amending the fragile ecological environment and restoring degraded ecosystems.MethodsThe effects of different vegetation types: Caragana korshinskii, Prunus armeniaca L., Pinus tabuliformis Carrière, Medicago sativa L., and the control vegetation Stipa bungeana on soil micro-food webs and soil multifunctionality, as well as their response mechanisms to soil environmental drivers, were investigated using High-throughput sequencing technology.ResultsC. korshinskii significantly enhanced soil physicochemical properties and soil enzyme activities by facilitating the stability of the soil micro-food web structure driven by soil bacteria and fungi and increasing the soil multifunctionality in contrast to S. bungeana. …”

An observation-based method to estimate carbonate system variations in the Labrador Sea by Claire Boteler, Michael Dowd, Eric C. J. Oliver, Douglas W. R. Wallace

“…The ocean carbonate system consists of pH, alkalinity, inorganic carbon and the partial pressure of carbon dioxide, and during the current era of anthropogenic change, its dynamics are key for understanding changes in the ocean and its ecosystem over time. The focus of this study is to estimate the carbonate system in the Labrador Sea with time series methods, using direct observations from the ocean surface and interior, and chemical relationships between variables. …”
