متن کاملWidespread decline in greenness of Amazonian vegetation due to the 2010 drought
[1] During this decade, the Amazon region has suffered two severe droughts in the short span of five years – 2005 and 2010. Studies on the 2005 drought present a complex, and sometimes contradictory, picture of how these forests have responded to the drought. Now, on the heels of the 2005 drought, comes an even stronger drought in 2010, as indicated by record low river levels in the 109 years o...
متن کاملAbrupt increases in Amazonian tree mortality due to drought-fire interactions.
Interactions between climate and land-use change may drive widespread degradation of Amazonian forests. High-intensity fires associated with extreme weather events could accelerate this degradation by abruptly increasing tree mortality, but this process remains poorly understood. Here we present, to our knowledge, the first field-based evidence of a tipping point in Amazon forests due to altere...
متن کاملThe secret story of fish: decreasing nutritional value due to pollution?
Fish, especially fatty fish, have long been viewed as a healthy dietary component because of their unique content of longchain n-3 PUFA (n-3 fatty acids). An observation in 852 male residents of Zutphen, The Netherlands, aged 40–59 years in 1960 indicated that fish intake was inversely associated with the incidence of CHD over 20 years of follow-up. On the other hand, fish may also contain dive...
