Many trees depend on animals for seed dispersal, and human activities that disrupt seed dispersal by animals may impact forest regeneration and carbon storage. Yet whether expected negative impacts are observable across regrowing forests remains untested. We modeled... by ACC Admin | May 19, 2025 | 2025, Peer Reviewed Scientific Paper, Resources, Technical / Scientific

Although the role of marine macrofauna in the ocean carbon cycle is increasingly understood, the cumulative impacts of fisheries and climate change on this pathway remain overlooked. Here, using a marine ecosystem model, we estimate that each degree of warming reduces...
