Toward an Earth System Modeling Approach to Simulate Irrigation Effects
Land model improvements are enabling more realistic representations of the climate and hydrological consequences of crop irrigation.

Worms produce tiny clumps of soil that keep carbon taken in by plants from rapidly degrading and re-entering the environment.
Results show absorption properties of brown carbon depend more on burn conditions than fuel type, providing important information to model climates.
Model comparison evaluates black carbon levels and impacts.
New, rapid, and low-cost approach can be applied to many species.
Modeling experiments assess impacts of key melting behavior.
Opportunities emerge for using microbes to convert the gas to biofuels and other products.
Model scenarios predict increased scarcity in the Middle East and India.
Strains produce “drop-in” fuels and chemicals derived from fatty acids.
Altered stop codon allows E. coli strain to incorporate nonstandard amino acids.
New models show reduction in bias associated with too many highly reflective clouds.
Genome variability helps explain why Emiliania huxleyi canflourish in diverse ocean habitats.
