Location and natural history are key to determining impact of the 2021 atmospheric heatwave on Pacific Northwest rocky intertidal communities by C. Melissa Miner, Helen D. Berry, Heath Bohlmann, Megan N. Dethier, Steven C. Fradkin, Rani Gaddam, Wendel W. Raymond, Peter T. Raimondi

“…Several consecutive days of air temperatures 10-20°C above normal, coupled with mid-afternoon low tides proved deadly for many rocky intertidal organisms, which live at the margin of land and sea.MethodsTo assess short (weeks) and longer-term (1 year) impacts of the heatwave on rocky intertidal communities, we used long-term monitoring data collected annually at 16 sites throughout Washington State.Results and discussionOur findings indicate that impacts were most severe at sites within the Salish Sea region of WA, where peak low tides occurred during the hottest, mid-afternoon hours. …”

Multi-scenario modeling of regional dual-carbon target achievement and air quality improvement: A case study of Zhejiang province by Yuxin Yang

“…The results indicate that (1) the industrial, transport, and residential sectors contribute over 84.7% of energy consumption, CO2 emissions, and air pollutant emissions from 2020 to 2060, identifying them as key targets for mitigation strategies; (2) carbon peaking is not projected under the baseline scenario, but is expected by 2040 in the low-carbon scenario and 2029 in the deep low-carbon scenario, with a peak emission of 208.821 million tons, primarily driven by reductions in the industrial sector; (3) air pollutant emissions across scenarios rank as O3, NO2, PM10, PM2.5, and SO2, indicating the need for stronger O3 control; and (4) the proportion of days meeting national air quality standards remains unchanged, implying further action is necessary to improve air quality. …”
