Time for tea in the study of climate change

It is said that science is often stranger than fiction and the Teabag Index initiative is a case in point. The star of this project is an object as everyday as a teabag and it is helping researchers around the world to better understand climate change. In what way?

Heatwaves deaden the beat of central Europe’s trees

Tanca els ulls i pensa en l’ésser viu més sòlid que coneixes. Has pensat en un arbre? Sòlid, immòbil i impassible al pas del temps. Res més lluny de la realitat i és que els troncs dels arbres bateguen, es contrauen de dia quan es buiden d’aigua i es dilaten de nit al reomplir-se per les arrels.

Lack of rainfall bringing spring forward in Northern Hemisphere

Tot i això, un estudi publicat avui a la revista Nature Climate Change afegeix que la manca de pluja també provoca que les plantes brotin abans d’hora a l’hemisferi nord. En aquesta zona del planeta, les pluges han disminuït la seva freqüència els darrers trenta anys i ara es demostra que això afecta també el calendari natural de les plantes.
