As a result, the new model found that the increase in carbon uptake
by more vegetation will be overshadowed by a much larger amount of carbon released into the atmosphere.
They weren't violent (or at least they were less violent than man) they were shorter, they
ate more vegetation — they weren't giants.
Living in homes surrounded
by more vegetation can improve mental health and lower mortality rates.
The University of Exeter ecologist said: «The more greenery and
more vegetation there is the more easily birds can fly between gardens.
The change happens as
more vegetation grows in the warming Arctic, and forests struggle to survive against fire and insect infestations in warmer and drier conditions.
As more vegetation was removed by the introduction of livestock, it increased the albedo (the amount of sunlight that reflects off the earth's surface) of the land, which in turn influenced atmospheric conditions sufficiently to reduce monsoon rainfall.
At least half of the slowdown is thought to be due to changes in land use,
with more vegetation and possibly more buildings making the terrain rougher (Nature Geoscience, vol 3, p 756).
Data from that trip — and another in 2012 — tell a 1,100 - year story of rainfall in a land where water is often scarce, and where rain might have meant
more vegetation, more herd animals and more meat, milk and cheese.
The line reflects the Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI): the higher the value,
the more vegetation is thriving in the area.
Increased rainfall could mean
more vegetation and therefore less soil exposed to wind erosion in the Sahel.
Levels go up and down slightly each year because the Northern Hemisphere has
more vegetation than the Southern Hemisphere, and plants take in carbon dioxide during the summer and then release it again in the winter.
«Even though California might be somewhat wetter by the end of the century, it may come down to
more vegetation — fuel for the fires — and increasing temperature.»
Textures will see enhanced detail, draw distances will be improved, there'll be
more vegetation and shadows and lighting will be improved.
The more it rains in the winter,
the more vegetation grows, and the more there is to burn in the summer, which is invariably hot and dry.
The warming fueled by greenhouse gases is also helping to create more and larger fires as it dries out
more vegetation that acts as fuel for fires.
As temperatures continue to rise around the globe,
more vegetation will spring up in the frigid region, potentially pulling even more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere due to increased plant productivity.
Irrigation tends to reduce temperature extremes, drainage to increase them, and
more vegetation to reduce them.
