“Permafrost soils are particularly vulnerable to climate change. To assess and improve estimations of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) budgets it is necessary to accurately map soil carbon and nitrogen in the permafrost region. In particular, soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks have been predicted and mapped by many studies from local to pan-Arctic scales. Several studies have been carried out at the Canadian Beaufort Sea coast, though no regional maps of terrestrial carbon stocks based on spatial modelling has been conducted yet. This study combines available field data from the Canadian Yukon coastal plain and uses it to map regional SOC and N stocks using the machine learning algorithm random forest and environmental variables based on remote sensing data. [The authors] developed models using the data for the entire region and separate models for the coastal mainland area and Qikiqtaruk Herschel Island. Each model was used to map SOC and N stocks for its respective area. [They] assessed the performance of the different random forest models by using crossvalidation. [They] further assessed model results using the Area of Applicability (AOA) method and the quantile regression forest approach, comparing the results and discussing their implications within the context of both methods. [They] explore[d] local differences in soil properties and how soil data distribution across the region affects the accuracy of the predictions of SOC and N stocks..."

Beef, dairy, rice and pork consumption are the largest parts of diet GHG.
As incomes rise, bovine consumption increases historically and across geographies. It is less the case with rice or other meats.

#Methane leaks into the atmosphere from abandoned mines for years, sometimes decades after production ends ⏳

The quality of a mine's closure and post-closure monitoring therefore matter as much as the closure itself.

#Composting program to provide #Everglades with soil for #CommunityGarden

by Martin Vassolo, March 12, 2025

"Your #FoodScraps could be used to help support the Everglades through a new partnership between the village of #PinecrestFL and the #MiccosukeeTribe.

"Instead of dumping #FoodWaste into crowded #landfills, which produce #methane emissions, the #EvergladesEarthCycleProject will expand Pinecrest's residential composting program and deliver nutrient-rich soil to the #Miccosukee Tribe.

"Driving the news: The project, funded with a $400,000 federal grant and other contributions, calls for installing four new #CompostingBins in Pinecrest and three around #MiamiDade County District 7.

"The initial phase of the program will supply compost to the #SwampyMeadows #CommunityGarden, which grows vegetables just outside the Miccosukee Indian School.

"Another proposal that's been floated is adding new soil to the Everglades' tree islands, though that would need tribal approval, says the Rev. Houston R. Cypress of the #LoveTheEverglades Movement, a partner in the program.

"Cypress told reporters on an airboat ride through the Everglades last week that the tribe teaches 'the essence of being in harmony with nature is giving back to it.'

"'With the Everglades Earth Cycle Project, we're giving back clean and healthy soil; we're giving products that might eventually improve the water quality out here, but we're also giving directly back to local indigenous communities here,' he said.

"Pinecrest already has two free public composting bins, one at the Pinecrest Public Library and another between the Community Center and Pinecrest Gardens."

If we breach climate tipping points, climate change will continue even if we do reach net zero.

A letter to the Sheffield Star.

Dear Editor

In Friday’s Star, you highlighted a quote from Baroness Brown, who chairs the Climate Change Committee’s adaptation work. She said, “It gets worse from here. Until we get to Net Zero, things go on getting worse.”

Unfortunately, they may carry on getting far worse after we reach Net Zero. 

We are dangerously close to climate tipping points, and if these are breached, our planet will no longer be a safe home for us. For instance, if the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation collapses, our weather will be like the Ice Age in winter and extremely hot in summer, making it impossible to grow crops. Or if giant ice sheets collapse in the Arctic or Antarctic, sea levels will rise and likely flood most of our best agricultural land. Or when areas of the tundra melt, large emissions of the potent greenhouse gas methane will be released, further increasing climate change.

Governments must stop dilly-dallying and get on a war footing to end our addiction to fossil fuels. They should be showing the Climate Emergency Briefing film to the public so everyone understands the extreme threats we face. Baroness Brown is right about one thing: this isn’t the new normal. Things will continue to get worse, so we need massive investment in adaptation so we can cope better with extreme heat, floods, fires, droughts, and storms. 

As we have watched awful fires scorch many of our green spaces this week, it gives me no pleasure to say, “I told you this would happen”. And still, the Fire Brigade lacks the resources needed to adequately cope with so many fires. We don’t even have a single firefighting plane in this country. 

Instead of leading on adaptation to keep us safe, Andy Burnham is expanding airports and debating opening yet more climate-changing oil and gas fields in the North Sea. Surely this record-breaking summer should be a wake-up call for him?

Yours sincerely

Graham Wroe

JFC two of the poorest states in the country just signed a ecological suicide pact. they really want that 24/7 #Mississippi Is Burning experience.

"Siberia's growing methane threat could offset 20% of global methane reduction targets by 2050"

Siberia's growing methane threat could offset 20% of global methane reduction targets by 2050

The #Arctic is warming at an accelerating pace. As #permafrost thaws across vast areas and wildfires become more frequent, large amounts of #methane (CH4) are being released. Together, these changes are reshaping the region's #GreenhouseGas emissions and further intensifying climate change.

In a study published in Science on August 6, an international team led by Professor Liu Yi from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics #IAP of the Chinese Academy of Sciences investigated how #CH4 #emissions in #Siberia are evolving under #ClimateChange. The study showed how atmospheric circulation promotes #wildfire activity and #methanogenesis and thereby drives the recent sharp rise in CH4 emissions.

From Ireland Land Use Review latest report: “sustainable land use requires very significant change”.

Explanations by Caroline O'Doherty:
"Agriculture is the main polluter of waterways, half of which fail to meet minimum environmental standards.
"It is responsible for 38 per cent of national emissions – the largest of any sector.
"It is the number one pressure on wildlife and natural habitats, 90 per cent of which are in poor condition."
