94-Million-Year Old Climate Change Event Holds Clues for Future
A major climate event millions of years ago that caused substantial change to the ocean's ecological systems may hold clues as to how the Earth will respond to future climate change. In a new study, Jeremy Owens (FSU) explains that parts of the ocean became inhospitable for some organisms as the Earth's climate warmed 94 million years ago. As the Earth warmed, several natural elements - what we think of as vitamins - depleted, causing some organisms to die off or greatly decrease in numbers. More >

Researchers to Study How to Reduce Carbon Dioxide in Ranch Soil
University of Florida scientists hope to reduce possible pollutants emanating from soils in Florida cattle ranches by using a $710,000 USDA grant to study soil microbes. Researchers will use lab and field studies to investigate how pasture management and factors such as temperature and rainfall affect soil microbes. "The goal is to put together a model that can predict the release of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide from soils under a climate that is expected to be warmer and experience more extreme dry and wet periods across the Southeast," said Stefan Gerber (UF).
