AMES, Iowa – A recent ecosystem modeling study conducted by Iowa State University scientists shows how crop production in the United States has led to an increase in the emissions of nitrous oxide, a ...

A team of researchers has unveiled a groundbreaking method leveraging Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) and transfer entropy to significantly enhance the prediction of mesozooplankton community dynamics ...

Tipping points are the death of ecosystems. So scientists watch as warning signs gradually worsen until an ecosystem reaches the point of no return, when animal populations suddenly collapse. While ...

Creating new scientific models of plankton is "critical" to understanding the scale of global climate change, a new paper argues. The article, led by Plymouth Marine Laboratory's Professor Kevin Flynn ...

Microsoft Research and UN scientists are embarking on a highly ambitious project: A computational model of an entire ecosystem, from the soil itself to the creatures that live on it. Such a ...

A new study in Nature Climate Change by a science team including researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego used next-generation climate models to ...

The new microbe-explicit soil model (left) versus DayCent’s previous soil model that did not explicitly model microbe activity (right). Of all the carbon stored in ecosystems around the world, about ...
