Advertisement Nature Sustainability publishes significant original research from a broad range of natural, social and engineering fields about sustainability, its policy dimensions and possible solutions. It brings together novel research on the drivers of human practices and their environmental and social impacts, as well as applied research that identifies viable solutions — technological, infrastructural or institutional — to sustain ecosystems and the well-being of populations across the globe.  Submit your research.

Abram, Jacqueline Austermann et al. doi:10.1038/s41561-018-0146-0 A review of Earth system changes associated with past warmer climates provides constraints on the environmental changes that could occur under warming of 2 °C or more over pre-industrial temperatures. Articles Atmospheric mountain wave generation on Venus and its influence on the solid planet's rotation rate    pp487 - 491 T. Navarro, G. Schubert & S. Lebonnois doi:10.1038/s41561-018-0157-x Atmospheric simulations of Venus show that gravity waves generated in the afternoon over mountains can influence the planet's rotation rate and explain a planetary-scale perturbation of the Venusian atmosphere observed by the Akatsuki spacecraft. Reduced air–sea CO2 exchange in the Atlantic Ocean due to biological surfactants    pp492 - 496 Ryan Pereira, Ian Ashton, Bita Sabbaghzadeh, Jamie D. Shutler et al. doi:10.1038/s41561-018-0136-2 Biologically produced surfactants in the sea surface microlayer reduce air–sea exchange of CO2 in the North Atlantic Ocean, according to tank and ocean measurements.

Tockner et al. doi:10.1038/s41561-018-0134-4 Rewetting of plant litter accumulated in dry riverbeds releases pulses of CO2, reveals a global analysis of intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams.

Khatiwala et al. doi:10.1038/s41561-018-0151-3 Terrestrial carbon sources in the Southern Hemisphere and sinks in the Northern Hemisphere may be smaller than thought, according to a recalculation that accounts for the oceanic redistribution of carbon. Improved efficiency of the biological pump as a trigger for the Late Ordovician glaciation    pp510 - 514 Jiaheng Shen, Ann Pearson, Gregory A. Henkes, Yi Ge Zhang, Kefan Chen et al. doi:10.1038/s41561-018-0141-5 Enhanced algal productivity during the Late Ordovician may have led to carbon drawdown and the inception of the Hirnantian glaciation, according to sediment geochemistry and carbon cycle modelling.

Wiens & Andrew Nyblade doi:10.1038/s41561-018-0140-6 Earthquake activity in East Antarctica is similar to that of other stable cratons, according to analyses of seismic data.
