  • To explore how climate warming may affect rice yield, a study used field experiments and three modelling approaches to examine the sensitivity of rice yield to warming. The study predicts that severe rice yield losses are likely to occur without effective crop improvement.

  • The structure of adeno-associated virus (AAV) type 2 in complex with its receptor, AAVR, provides new insights on the molecular mechanism of AAV entry into host cells and will serve to optimize the design of AAV vectors for gene therapy.

  • Adrenal activity is crucial for glucose release during stress, yet whether it is necessary for rapid glucose release remains unknown. Here, we show that adrenal independent hypothalamussympathetic-liver axis mediated fast glucose release, which is required for predatory evoked flight response.

  • The degree to which wheat yield in China will respond to future warming remains uncertain. These authors compile data from warming experiments and process-based statistical models and show that warming increases yield only in regions where growing season mean temperature is low and water supply is not limiting.

  • Satellite records combined with global ecosystem models show a persistent and widespread greening over 25–50% of the global vegetated area; less than 4% of the globe is browning. CO2 fertilization explains 70% of the observed greening trend.

  • Using a global coupled biogeochemistry–climate model and a chemistry and transport model reveals that China’s present-day global radiative forcing is about ten per cent of the current global total, made up of both warming and cooling contributions; if in the future China reduces the cooling forcings, global warming could accelerate.

  • Observed northern extratropical land greening is consistent with anthropogenic forcings, where greenhouse gases play a dominant role, but not with simulations that include only natural forcings and internal climate variability.

  • The impacts of climate change on summer carbon cycling in the northern hemisphere remain poorly resolved. Here the authors use atmospheric CO2 records from Point Barrow (Alaska) to show that summer CO2 drawdown is significantly negatively correlated with terrestrial temperature north of 50°N between 1979–2012.

  • Combining eddy covariance measurements and satellite observations, the authors identify an optimum air temperature for global vegetation productivity and show that it is consistently lower than the optimum foliar photosynthetic capacity.

  • Here the concept of climate-change velocity is used to explore whether northward displacement of vegetation will keep pace with temperature under climate change. Remote sensing data suggest it will not, possibly due to resource availability.

  • Spring leaf unfolding has been occurring earlier in the year because of rising temperatures; however, long-term evidence in the field from 7 European tree species studied in 1,245 sites shows that this early unfolding effect is being reduced in recent years, possibly because the reducing chilling and/or insolation render trees less responsive to warming.

  • Porous sorbents capable of high ammonia (NH3) uptake capacities are of great interest for ammonia storage for industry, as well as for the environmental remediation of this toxic and corrosive gas. Here, NH3 adsorption is investigated in four robust aluminium-based metal–organic frameworks, and in situ neutron powder diffraction, synchrotron IR micro-spectroscopy and 27Al solid-state NMR studies show that the pore geometries, framework rigidity, and nature of the host–guest binding sites together dictate the high NH3 capture and storage capacity.
