Creating 3D computer models of entire reefs – sometimes known as digital twins – can help researchers monitor these precious ecosystems faster and more accurately than ever before.

Recent evidence suggests that, on a global scale, terrestrial ecosystems will provide a positive feedback in a warming world, albeit of uncertain magnitude.

Figure 1: Global distributions of total ecosystem carbon, turnover times of carbon in terrestrial ecosystems and its spatial covariation with climate variables. Figure 2: Latitudinal gradients of ...

The new model takes into account the role of nitrogen dynamics in influencing the response of terrestrial ecosystems to climate change and rising atmospheric carbon dioxide.

It is to protect and restore terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and stop biodiversity loss.

The biosphere reserve features terrestrial ecosystem occupying only 10 per cent amid a stunning marine environment. The Islands form a mosaic of key biodiversity spots, recognized for their ...
