Mashup Score: 1
Studying root function in tropical forests could improve predictions of climate change. Research led by Colorado State University has contributed to a better understanding of how carbon storage and belowground dynamics will respond to global change. An international group of scientists called TropiRoot, led by CSU Associate Professor Daniela Cusack, has been working to provide much needed representation of tropical forests and root function in vegetation models.

Mashup Score: 9Climate change is a clear and present danger to health, says UKHSA - 4 month(s) ago
New report details the threat but stops short of recommending specific actions Published shortly after the first ever health day at the UN’s annual climate conferences,1 the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) report, Health Effects of Climate Change in the UK ,2 vividly sets out the current and future health threats posed by a changing climate and is essential reading after a year of unprecedented climate records.3 The UKHSA report provides a UK focus on the large and growing global evidence for the health impacts of climate change (as documented annually by the Lancet countdown report4). Over 15 chapters and 721 pages, the report details the evidence that the health consequences of global heating of 4.3°C by 2081-2100 would be broad and devastating in the UK. This high-end 4.3°C scenario would be the result of greenhouse gas emissions continuing to rise throughout the 21st century,5 the likelihood of which depends on how quickly all countries take action. However, the authors justify t

Mashup Score: 14
Author summary There is good evidence that weather influences some infectious diseases, driving the seasonal and geographic distribution. This is relevant to gastrointestinal infections, which cause high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Weather can impact people’s behaviour, pathogen survival and distribution, animal husbandry, and other environmental variables. We used campylobacteriosis in England and Wales as a case-study to examine a new methodology because it has a distinctive seasonality. The approach compares daily data on affected people by laboratory, the population of the laboratory catchments, and local weather variables. This allows Campylobacter incidence to be compared across the values of these variables (e.g. low to high temperature) to provide an estimate of how individual weather variables, alone or in combination, affect disease incidence. We call this the Comparative Conditional Incidence. The results from this analysis are used to build a mathematical model that
