This paper employs public opinion data from a nationally representative probability sample to examine how information encounters and exposure to different media sources relate to individuals' beliefs about global warming. The analyses indicate that media source exposure (i.e., exposure to news and information about science presented through different media outlets), intentional information expo...

Assessing how environmental changes affect the distribution and dynamics of vegetation and animal populations is becoming increasingly important for terrestrial ecologists to enable better predictions of the effects of global warming, biodiversity reduction or habitat degradation. The ability to predict ecological responses has often been hampered by our rather limited understanding of trophic ...

Abstract Recent interest in integrated crop-livestock (ICL) systems has prompted numerous investigations to quantify ecosystem service tradeoffs associated with management. However, few have quantified ICL management effects on net global warming potential (GWP), particularly semiarid regions. Therefore, we determined GWP for grazed and ungrazed cropland a long-term study near Mandan, ND USA. F...

This study examines the potential impacts of climate change on electricity demand in Niger. Fourteen (14) regional simulations from Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX) were analyzed for study. The evaluates ability to reproduce present-day variables over Niger, builds a climate-electricity model link with variables, and quantifies impact daily at various global warming ...

Warming and grazing significantly affect the structure and function of an alpine meadow ecosystem. Yet, the responses of soil microbes to these disturbances are not well understood. Controlled asymmetrical warming (+1.2/1.7°C during daytime/nighttime) with grazing experiments were conducted to study microbial response to warming, grazing and their interactions. Significant interactive effects o...

Climate change will affect the population dynamics of many species, yet the consequences for the long-term persistence of populations are poorly understood. A major reason for this is that density-dependent feedback effects caused by fluctuations in population size are considered independent of stochastic variation in the environment. We show that an interplay between winter temperature and pop...

The agricultural machinery is making a considerable negative contribution to the acceleration of global warming. In this study, we analyzed impact combine harvesters (CHs) on warming potential (GWP) by evaluating telematics data from 67 CHs operating in Lithuania and Latvia between 2016 2020. This study examined use their technological operations associated impacts ambient air performed field t...
