The Unraveling of Climate Models: Why CO2 and Nitrogen Mismatches Matter

The relationship between carbon dioxide (CO2) levels and plant growth has long been heralded as a key element in climate modeling. However, recent research reveals that this relationship is not as straightforward as previously thought due to the crucial role of nitrogen in ecosystem dynamics. Climate models that overestimate the availability of natural nitrogen fixation […]

What Really Happens When Food Chains Are Shocked

Every year, storms, heatwaves, pandemics, and political crises quietly snap the links in our food chains. Prices spike. Shelves go bare. Farmers dump crops they can’t move. But here’s the twist: the weakest part of a food supply chain often isn’t where we expect it to be. A new study on agri-food supply chain resilience […]

Killer Whales Are Hunting Juvenile Sharks

Two years. Same place. Same outcome. Juvenile great white sharks, about the size of a classroom table, were attacked and killed by killer whales in the Gulf of California. Until recently, scientists believed these interactions were almost unheard of. But new evidence suggests something is changing beneath the surface. And if you work in shark […]
