Two studies with the participation of Goethe University Frankfurt, Max Planck Institute for Chemistry, University of Helsinki, and Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research, together with Brazilian partner institutions, shed light on a new mechanism that affects the climate.more
Analysis of nitrogen isotope ratio in coral skeletons shows strong decadal oscillations in the size of the world's largest oxygen-deficient zone (ODZ) over the last 80 years. These findings imply that this ODZ is more dynamic than previously thought and could respond quickly to climate changes in the coming decades, with important consequences for marine ecosystems.
