Global levels of nitrogen have remained stable for the last 500 years despite humans increasing nitrogen production around the world, a new study from Kansas State University has found.
With the recent conclusion of the Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill and Ecosystem Science Confernece, more theories as to where the oil went are coming to light.
According to a new study, the natural ups and down of climates are more important in predicting rainfall distribution than the effects of global warming. Researchers say that the findings of the study must be taken into account while predicting future climate change.
