Over the thousands of decades humanity have cleared land for the farming, highways, and the expanding of our towns or cities. Because of our greedy needs on wanting to expand and use all the land we can to build our civilization. From the 1850 we have reduced global forest due to this our worlds woodland are in a choppy fragments state. With on 20% of the remaining forest within 100 meters of an edge for example: a rode or a parking lot. Our scientist have been studying fragments forest for decades mostly for their horrid effects on wildlife and biodiversity, but currently scientists have turned their attention to other issues in the effects of forest fragments on carbon storage and climate change. Andrew Reinmann postdoctoral research associate and Lucy Hutyra an associate professor of earth and environment have found that temperate broadleaf forest such as the red oak in New England absorbs more carbon than expected along their edge, but are more susceptible to the heat stress. Because of the funding from the national Oceanic and Atmospheric Admirations , and other others scientist suggest that while the forest may be valuable carbon sinks in more than ever but they may be sensitive toward climate change.

A group of archeologist worked together to come up with new research on using sophisticated computer technology to learn about the past societies response to climate change. With their work it can help communities identify new crops and adapted strategies when we are going through a drought, extreme whether or environmental crisis. An archaeologist Kholer created this magnificent computer simulations. He created this project back in 2001 the Village Eco-dynamics to see virtually how the Pueblo Indian families using the computer generated and geographically landscapes would respond to the changes such as population growth, rain, and resource depilation. Furthermore, with this computer we can see the past conditions and problems that will lead the different civilizations growth and the decline around the world.
Back in 2014 we have had an enormous heat wave in the pacific ocean. In when it produces temperature anomalies greatly. Researches from UC Santa Barbra evaluated the sentinel status of the giant kelp forest along the shoreline of Southern California due to climate change. They believed that the kelp would die off since they are sensitive to a dramatic increase as well to the low-nutrient conditions in respond to the rising water temperature. But to their surprise the giant kelp forest was alright. What made them surprised is that kelp does not have the capacity to store the nutrients they need to sustained their growth. These researches have kept records for eons and have taken data. Well with the data they have it shows large positive temperature amounts that were unpredictable. They have even looked in other categories in the changes such as algae, inertebrated and fishes of the giant kelp forest showed no response to the warming event.
Experts from the Cardiff University and Bangor University has been studying the chemistry of growing rings of the Quahog Clam they have discovered on how its role in the steering the atmosphere climate change greatly, but the change during the industrial period and changes in the North Atlantic lag. Researcher believe it can be influenced by the green gasses with these results the North Atlantic Oceans may impact the climate and weather across which in this case its significant. Because of the clams rings the ring are just like the trees in which they can lead us to the past steering us to discover on how the oceans have changed over the past thousands years.
There has been a research at the University of Florida state on how we can create a cleaner and more efficient car. An assistant professor, Jose Mendoza has proposed a solution to create efficient materials to solve energy issues. Even there has been scientists who have already discovered how to pressurized hydrogen to compact it to make it usable as fuel for cars. But with Mendoza determination he wanted to created something that would be more efficient
and economically viable. Mendoza used immensely complex mathematical equations and computer simulations to designed porous materials of transition metals such as iron or nickel that will make the hydrogen bond. With this design this can be placed in a tank of a car that uses hydrogen for fuel. Hopefully the device that Mendoza made would take up smaller energy expenditure to fill up the tank. |
