A lack of phosphorus in forest soil could lead to an acceleration of global climate change. This is shown by new research that has investigated the complex balance between carbon dioxide fertilisation, phosphorus deficiency and tree growth. The world’s forests are vital in the fight against climate change, as they absorb around a quarter of the greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere. Trees

In a recent paper, Fredrik N G Andersson explores the connection between economic inequality and the environment. He discovers that the relationship is complex, varying by time, location, and the specific environmental indicator. The most pronounced correlation is found between income inequality and energy use, which subsequently impacts greenhouse gas emissions. Structural shifts in the consumpti
