Predators help protect carbon stocks in blue carbon ecosystems

NATURE CLIMATE CHANGE | VOL 5 | DECEMBER 2015 | www.nature.com/natureclimatechange Climate change is an urgent societal issue that can be addressed by a combination of reduced emissions and climate mitigation strategies, including those based on natural carbon (C) stores (that is, biosequestration). The need to reduce atmospheric CO2 concentrations combined with global interest in C trading and...

Using citizen science to monitor pollination services

1. Pollination by insects is a vital ecosystem service and the need for its assessment is increasing in recognition and political pressure, but there are currently no large-scale systematic monitoring schemes in place to measure the direct provision of this service. 2. This study tested a protocol for using a citizen science approach to quantify pollination service provision in gardens and allo...
