Behind the Paper
The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows.
Microbial protein as substitute for ruminant meat
The production of ruminant meat has strong environmental impacts, especially related to land use. Microbial protein, produced in bioreactors, is a land-saving nutritious alternative. We analyzed the environmental effects of microbial protein in the context of the whole agriculture and food system by 2050.

Difference climate response persistence causes warming trend unevenness at continental scales
GW exhibits differences at continental scales. We show that CMIP6 models underestimate warming unevenness, possibly leading to a biased estimation of anthropogenic influence on warming. We find that SAT changes over China more sensitive to external forcing owing to stronger long-range persistence.
Vulnerable Supply Chains in Times of Covid-19 and Climate Change: A Call for a New Research Agenda
The Covid-19 pandemic gives us a glimpse of what climate change has in store for us concerning our globalized economic system. More research is needed to help us better understand these complex interconnections and to translate such insights into instruments to support decision-making.
Rewetted fen peatlands - novel and essential for climate protection
Peatlands store twice as much carbon as all the biomass of the World’s forests. Vast areas of peatland have been drained and turned into CO2 sources. Their rewetting is essential to reduce CO2 emissions. But how exactly do the rewetted peatlands look like, do they resemble again the natural state?

World Water Day
World Water Day is on 22 March, and this year the theme is groundwater - making the invisible visible
Data-driven groundwater protection
A key aspect of groundwater protection is the knowledge of groundwater quantity and quality. Data are the focus of a number of recent publications looking at both quantity and quality of groundwater.
