Am 29. April 2025 wurde der BIOMASS-Satellit erfolgreich in die Umlaufbahn gebracht. Die BIOMASS-Mission dient der Kartierung und Überwachung globaler Wälder. Sie soll die Struktur verschiedener Waldtypen kartieren und Daten zur oberirdischen Biomasse liefern.
EU fördert internationales Forschungsprojekt AI4PEX, um Erdsystemmodelle und damit wissenschaftliche Vorhersagen des Klimawandels weiter zu verbessern. Beteiligte Wissenschaftler*innen aus 9 Ländern trafen sich bereits Ende Mai 2024 zum Projektstart am federführenden MPI für Biogeochemie in Jena.
Die Umsatzzeiten des Kohlenstoffs an Land bestimmen die Auswirkungen von Klima-veränderungen auf die Landoberfläche. Die Temperaturempfindlichkeit des Kohlen-stoffumsatzes ist daher von entscheidender Bedeutung. Unsere neue Studie belegt, dass die Feuchtebedingungen die Temperaturempfindlichkeit der Kohlenstoffumsatzzeiten stark verändern.

Der Klimawandel bringt Wälder zunehmend unter Druck. Ausgelöst durch Klimaextreme sind in Mitteleuropa in den letzten Jahren große Waldflächen abgestorben. Forschende unter Beteiligung der Technischen Universität München (TUM) haben nun die erste Klimarisikokarte…
A new study shows that future ecosystem functioning will increasingly depend on water availability. Using recent simulations from climate models, an international team of scientists found several “hot spot regions” where increasing water limitation strongly affects ecosystems. These include Central Europe, the Amazon, and western Russia.
Microorganisms in aquifers deep below the earth’s surface produce similar amounts of biomass as those in some marine waters. This is the finding of researchers led by the Friedrich Schiller University Jena and the German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv). The study has been published in Nature Geoscience.
You can't see them with the naked eye, but our forest ground is littered with microorganisms. They decompose falling leaves, thereby improving soil quality and counteracting climate change. But how do these single-celled organisms coordinate their tasks? An international research team has been looking into this little-understood process. The results of the study were recently published in Scientific Reports.
Scientists have succeeded in detecting changes in carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels much faster than before. Using a new method, they combined atmospheric measurements of carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxygen (O2) from the north coast of the United Kingdom. The study, with the participation of the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry, was published Apr. 22 in Science Advances.
International researchers found a pattern of extreme climate conditions leading to forest dieback. To do this, the team had collected worldwide records of climate-related tree and forest dieback events over the past nearly five decades. The results, recently published in Nature Communications, reveal an ominous scenario for forests in the context of ongoing global warming.
International forest experts analyzed major tree and forest dieback events that occurred globally in the last decades in response to climate extremes. To their surprise many forests were strongly affected that were not considered threatened based on current scientific understanding. The study, led by the MPI-BGC and published in Annual Reviews in Plant Biology, underscores also that further tree and forest dieback is likely to occur.
At the Amazon Tall Tower Observatory (ATTO), the research station of a joint German-Brazilian project in the Brazilian rainforest, scientists have been studying the ecosystems of the Amazon and their interactions with the atmosphere and climate for more than 10 years. Recently, representatives of the Brazilian Ministry of Research and foreign ambassadors visited the station.
