14-06-08 Hi, everybody. I'm here at Children's National Medical Center in Washington, D.C., visiting with some kids being treated here all the time for asthma（哮喘） and other breathing problems. Often, these illnesses are aggravated（加重，恶化） by air po...

14-06-06 Scientists know that wildland fire emissions play a significant role in the global carbon cycle and that its principal component -- carbon dioxide -- is a primary driver of climate change. But predicting and quantifying the effects of potential futu...

14-06-06 Fish and aquatic（水生的） life living in the high seas（公海） are more valuable as a carbon sink than as food and should be better protected, according to research from the University of British Columbia. The study found fish and aquatic life remo...

14-06-05 Deep sea fishes remove and store more than one million tonnes of CO2 from UK and Irish surface waters every year, according to a new study led by the University of Southampton. This natural carbon capture and storage scheme could store carbon equiva...

14-05-08 Researchers have some bad news for future farmers and eaters: As carbon dioxide levels rise this century, some grains and legumes（豆类） will become significantly less nutritious than they are today. The new findings are reported in the journal Nat...

14-04-25 It's broadly understood that the world's oceans play a crucial role in the global-scale cycling and exchange of carbon between Earth's ecosystems and atmosphere. Now scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego have taken a leap...

14-04-16 The ability of forests to sequester（使隔绝） carbon from the atmosphere depends on nutrients available in the forest soils, shows new research from an international team of researchers, including IIASA. The study, published in the journal Nature Cl...
