Pick Up1370. 2025 Climate Report: A Planet on the Brink
On October 29, BioScience published the 2025 Climate Report: A Planet on the Brink, sounding the alarm that the impacts of human-induced climate change are no longer a future threat, but a real reality. -
Pick Up1369. The Current State of Climate Action
According to the latest "State of Climate Action 2025" report, compiled by the World Resources Institute (WRI) and others, global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and enhance carbon removal are not being implemented at the pace and scale necessary to achieve the temperature targets of the Paris Agreement. Below are 10 key points from the "State of Climate Action" report. -
Pick Up1368. Potential for Sustainable Paddy Rice Farming Systems
In paddy soils, microbially mediated redox cycling processes driven by water and soil management are believed to control the dynamics of soil minerals and soil organic matter. Toward the establishment of sustainable paddy rice farming systems, evidence is needed on practices that can increase rice yields while simultaneously reducing greenhouse gas emissions, as well as knowledge on the biogeochemical processes that shape specific paddy soils in the short and long term. -
