The term carbon (C) sequestration has not just become a buzzword but is something of a
siren's call to scientific communicators and media outlets. Carbon sequestration is the …

Soils are subject to varying degrees of direct or indirect human disturbance, constituting a
major global change driver. Factoring out natural from direct and indirect human influence is …

This planetary boundaries framework update finds that six of the nine boundaries are
transgressed, suggesting that Earth is now well outside of the safe operating space for …

Cost degression in photovoltaics, wind-power and battery storage has been faster than
previously anticipated. In the future, climate policy to limit global warming to 1.5–2° C will …

Ruminant meat provides valuable protein to humans, but livestock production has many
negative environmental impacts, especially in terms of deforestation, greenhouse gas …

Terrestrial water storage (TWS) modulates the hydrological cycle and is a key determinant of
water availability and an indicator of drought. While historical TWS variations have been …

The hydrological cycle is expected to intensify with global warming, which likely increases
the intensity of extreme precipitation events and the risk of flooding. The changes, however …

Climate extremes such as droughts and heatwaves have a large impact on terrestrial carbon
uptake by reducing gross primary production (GPP). While the evidence for increasing …

Human land-use activities have resulted in large changes to the biogeochemical and
biophysical properties of the Earth surface, with consequences for climate and other …

Renewable energy resources, which depend on climate, may be susceptible to future
climate change. Here we use climate and integrated assessment models to estimate this …
