متن کاملClimate Science 2005 Major New Discoveries
Recent scientifi c studies confi rm that human-induced climate change is leading to increases in atmospheric and ocean temperatures.

Therefore, even if our society were to halt greenhouse gas emissions today, we have already committed to substantial warming and sea-level rise in fut...
متن کاملPlant hydraulics: new discoveries in the pipeline.
Increasing numbers of plant scientists are recognizing the importance of hydraulic design in determining plant function. Hydraulic design – which can be broadly defined as the functional properties of the plant vascular system – is a determinant not only of plant water balance but also of photosynthetic rates and ecological niche differentiation. Classic approaches (Tyree & Zimmermann, 2002) an...
