Carbonate-System Perturbation by Invasive Bivalves Threatens Drinking-Water Security in Calcium-Limited Catchments

Abstract Invasive bivalve ecosystem engineers pose an under-recognized threat to drinking-water security. In the Waikato River, New Zealand, rapid establishment of Corbicula fluminea (Asian clam) since their 2023 incursion has depleted dissolved calcium ∼24% below historical base...

Impacts of Future Oil Palm Expansion on Carbon and Hydrological Fluxes Across the Tropics

Abstract Future oil palm expansion could substantially alter tropical carbon and water cycles, but its regional impacts remain unclear. Using CLM5‐palm, we simulate large‐scale oil palm expansion from 2023 to 2100 in Southeast Asia, Africa and the Amazon. Expansion increases tota...
