Wildfires have a lasting impact on the environment, not only in terms of immediate destruction but also through the particles they leave behind. These residual particles act as potent climate heaters, absorbing sunlight and warming the atmosphere. Specifically, the study discussed in this article focuses on the effects of dark-brown carbon (d-BrC) particles from wildfires

Tropical forests are vital in the global carbon cycle, acting as a major carbon sink. However, recent research suggests that climate change may disrupt this delicate balance by increasing soil carbon vulnerability. A study by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) scientists, along with researchers from Colorado State University and the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, has

The latest research indicates that nearly 45% of the world’s land surface is classified as drylands, encompassing deserts, shrublands, grasslands, and savanna woodlands. This significant portion of the Earth’s surface is characterized by water scarcity, impacting natural ecosystems and human-managed landscapes such as agriculture, forestry, and livestock production. While traditional factors like climate change and
