🌍 How is #ClimateChange reshaping Earth’s water cycle? In this week’s Science Magazine, Seo et al. provide compelling evidence of a permanent global decline in terrestrial water storage, marking a turning point in our understanding of the #WaterCycle under climate change. My accompanying Perspective explains how this breakthrough was made possible through decades of geophysical observations, satellite data (like #GRACE), and advanced climate and hydrological modeling. A century after Arrhenius linked CO₂ to #GlobalWarming, we now have global-scale evidence that water availability is being fundamentally and irreversibly altered. 📎 https://lnkd.in/eWQq-eRk 🔗 https://lnkd.in/erimAurh #EarthScience Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ)

Nitrate, pesticides, metals, plastic – agricultural soils often contain pollutants. But are there sustainable and climate-friendly ways to restore and promote soil health in agricultural land? Yes, says a research team from the #UFZ. Specific plant species could be used as cover plants for phytoremediation, i.e. to relief agricultural land from adverse pollutant impacts. In their article published in Trends in #PlantSciences, the researchers summarise the results of more than 100 scientific studies and present which plants, according to current knowledge, are suitable for removing #pollutants from agricultural soils or trapping them in their root systems. https://lnkd.in/e9XBk3pk

An insect census: 20 years of #butterfly #monitoring in #Germany Since 2005, dedicated volunteers throughout Germany have been recording the occurrence of these popular insects. Since then, the monitoring has not only provided valuable information on butterflies, but also on how land use and climate change are changing nature as a whole. https://lnkd.in/etFZWgRR #insects #landuse #climatechange

Some countries host very few ERC grantees. The ERC is committed to supporting researchers from these countries and enhancing their chances of winning an ERC grant. Would you like to be one of the next ERC grant winners? If you missed our info sessions to help applicants in ERC calls, you can now catch up on the recording and the presentations 👉 https://lnkd.in/dM_jZEZP. You’ll gain insights on proposal writing, evaluation, budgeting, ethics, as well as on support for applicants from the ERC and its National Contact Points. You’ll also hear from successful grantees.

🌍 Environmental research must be at the heart of the 10th Framework Programme (#FP10)! 🌱   The Partnership for European Environmental Research (PEER) is calling for three priorities to be integrated into the future FP10: ✅ Accelerating green transitions: Implementing the Green Deal is essential to meeting societal and economic challenges. ✅ Strengthening collaborative environmental research: A key lever for maintaining the EU's competitiveness on a global scale. ✅ Doubling investments in environmental research and simplifying financial rules to amplify FP10's impact.   Economic growth cannot be achieved without considering environmental change and management. The PEER stands ready to mobilize its expertise to make FP10 a catalyst for sustainability 🌱🔬 Wageningen Environmental Research INRAE Finnish Environment Institute (Syke) - Suomen ympäristökeskus (Syke) Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) DCE -Nationalt Center for Miljø og Energi UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH) CIENS Norway Read the full position paper 👇
