Berry, Geoff J. Wells et al.     The need for smallholder farmers to adapt their practices to a changing climate is well recognised, particularly in Africa. The cost of adapting to climate change in Africa is …             Water flow modulates the response of coral reef communities to ocean acidification ▶     S. Comeau, P. J. Edmunds, C. A. Lantz et al.     By the end of the century coral reefs likely will be affected negatively by ocean acidification (OA), but both the effects of OA on coral communities and the crossed effects of …             Forest type affects the coupled relationships of soil C and N mineralization in the temperate forests of northern China ▶     Quan Quan, Changhui Wang, Nianpeng He et al.     Decomposition of soil organic matter (SOM) is sensitive to vegetation and climate change. Here, we investigated the influence of changes in forest types on the mineralization of …             Identification of Photosynthetic Plankton Communities Using Sedimentary Ancient DNA and Their Response to late-Holocene Climate Change on the Tibetan Plateau ▶     Weiguo Hou, Hailiang Dong, Gaoyuan Li et al.     Sediments from Tibetan lakes in NW China are potentially sensitive recorders of climate change and its impact on ecosystem function. However, the important plankton members in …             Combined effects of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation and El Niño-Southern Oscillation on Global Land Dry–Wet Changes ▶     Shanshan Wang, Jianping Huang, Yongli He et al.     The effects of natural variability, especially El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) effects, have been the focus of several recent studies on the change of drought patterns with …             Quantitative assessment of relative roles of drivers of acute respiratory diseases ▶     Prashant Goswami, Jurismita Baruah     Several thousands of people, including children, suffer from acute respiratory disease (ARD) every year worldwide. Pro-active planning and mitigation for these diseases require …             On-line monitoring of methane in sewer air ▶     Yiwen Liu, Keshab R. Sharma, Sudhir Murthy et al.     Methane is a highly potent greenhouse gas and contributes significantly to climate change. Recent studies have shown significant methane production in sewers. The studies …             Polluted dust promotes new particle formation and growth ▶     Wei Nie, Aijun Ding, Tao Wang et al.     Understanding new particle formation and their subsequent growth in the troposphere has a critical impact on our ability to predict atmospheric composition and global climate …             Detection of the Three Gorges Dam influence on the Changjiang (Yangtze River) submerged delta ▶     Zhijun Dai, James T. Liu, Wen Wei et al.     While most large river-deltas in the world are facing the risk of subsidence and erosion in the Anthropocene, it is suspected that the Changjiang submerged delta (CSD) could be …             Numerical evaluation of the scale problem on the wind flow of a windbreak ▶     Benli Liu, Jianjun Qu, Weimin Zhang et al.     The airflow field around wind fences with different porosities, which are important in determining the efficiency of fences as a windbreak, is typically studied via scaled wind …             Numerical simulation of drifting snow sublimation in the saltation layer ▶     Xiaoqing Dai, Ning Huang     Snow sublimation is an important hydrological process and one of the main causes of the temporal and spatial variation of snow distribution. Compared with surface sublimation, …             Nondestructive natural gas hydrate recovery driven by air and carbon dioxide ▶     Hyery Kang, Dong-Yeun Koh, Huen Lee     Current technologies for production of natural gas hydrates (NGH), which include thermal stimulation, depressurization and inhibitor injection, have raised concerns over …                     • Careers & Jobs           naturejobs.com Science jobs of the week       Fellowships of NCT Heidelberg School of Oncology (NCT HSO)     National Center for Tumor Diseases (NCT) Heidelberg             Two PhD Positions     ETH Zurich            Postdoctoral Researcher     NUI Galway            Post-Doctoral Fellowship : Clinical Genomics     CEA French Atomic and Alternative Energies Commission            Investigator Scientist     Medical Research Council - Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit            Research Associate     New York University Langone Medical Center            Postdoctoral Research Fellow     University of California - Irvine            Research Fellow     University of Leeds            Tenure-Track Assistant Professor     University of Chicago            Postdoctoral Researcher     UT Southwestern Medical Center          No matter what your career stage, student, postdoc or senior scientist, you will find articles on naturejobs.com to help guide you in your science career.
