まとめ
将来の気候変動は,降雨パターンの変化により,農業の収穫量を5~20%低下させ,イギリスでは淡水のマクロ栄養素濃度を20~30%増加させると予測されています.
科学分野:
- 環境科学 環境科学

背景:
- 気候モデルは,気温上昇と降雨量の変化を予測し,農業と水システムに影響を及ぼします.
- これらの影響を理解することは,農業の収穫量と淡水質の管理に不可欠です.
研究 の 目的:
- 予測される気候変動が農業の収穫や淡水のマクロ栄養素の流れや濃度に及ぼす影響を英国でシミュレートする.
- 将来の気候シナリオの下での作物収穫量と栄養分レベルの変化を定量化するために.
主な方法:
- LTLS-IM (Long-Term Large-Scale Integrated Model) を利用し,全国規模の陸地と淡水モデルとなった.
- 他の水源と組み合わせた栄養素損失に関するN14CPとRothamsted Landscape Model (RLM) の統合予測.
- RCP 8.5シナリオの下での12のUK Climate Projections 2018 (UKCP18) の実現を使用して,近い将来の条件 (2020-2050) をシミュレートした.
主要な成果:
- 予想される収穫量は,気候変動の影響だけで,ほとんどの作物で5-20%低下する.
- 淡水のマクロ栄養素濃度が20~30%増加すると予想される.
- 年間栄養分量は比較的安定しているが,河川の流れが減少したため,濃度が高くなる.
結論:
- 気候変動は,イギリスにおける農業生産性に重大な脅威をもたらしています.
- 安定した栄養分量であっても,マクロ栄養素濃度の増加により,淡水の質が劣化することがあります.
- 気候変動が農業と水資源に及ぼす悪影響を軽減するために,適応戦略が必要である.

Global Climate Change
29.1K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

ATP Yield
79.2K
Cellular respiration produces 30 - 32 ATP per glucose molecule. Although most of the ATP results from oxidative phosphorylation and the electron transport chain (ETC), 4 ATP are gained beforehand (2 from glycolysis and 2 from the citric acid cycle).
The ETC is embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane and is comprised of four main protein complexes and an ATP synthase. NADH and FADH2 pass electrons to these complexes, which pump protons into the intermembrane space. This distribution of...

What is Climate?
21.0K
Climate refers to the prevailing weather conditions in a specific area over an extended period. As the saying goes, “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.” Climate is influenced by geographic factors, such as latitude, terrain, and proximity to bodies of water.

Reaction Yield
60.8K
The theoretical yield of a reaction is the amount of product estimated to form based on the stoichiometry of the balanced chemical equation. The theoretical yield assumes the complete conversion of the limiting reactant into the desired product. The amount of product that is obtained by performing the reaction is called the actual yield, and it may be less than or (very rarely) equal to the theoretical yield.

Standard Entropy Change for a Reaction
25.2K
Entropy is a state function, so the standard entropy change for a chemical reaction (ΔS°rxn) can be calculated from the difference in standard entropy between the products and the reactants.
