• Effects of ocean acidification and increased temperature on skeletal growth of two scleractinian corals, Pocillopora meandrina and Porites rus

  
  Ocean acidification — Authority: 140
  For tropical corals, the projected decreases in seawater pH due to increasing atmospheric pCO2 are predicted to reduce calcification by 8% to 40%, but little is known of the interactions with other physical conditions, or the effects on other biological processes. This study tested for the interactive effects of pH ...

• Wedding: Amy & William

  
  Josh D. Weiss Photography — Authority: 127
  On December 20 I shot the wedding of Amy Gunn and William Warner as a second shooter for Devon over at Photosynthesis Studios.  The wedding was over at the Stanley House in Marietta.  I’d never shot there before but it seemed like a nice place. It was particularly cold that day and it was an interesting ...

• What do plants use for energy if they don’t have light?

  
  http://diddy.name — Authority: 171
  Let’s say that you accidentally leave a house plant in a dark closet before you leave for a 2 week vacation, so it cannot partake in photosynthesis to make its own food. However, when you get back home, you find that the plant is somehow still alive!! Why is this? Is it because the plant was using up its stored ...

• Extremophile Bacteria Transform CO2 and Light Into Fuel Better Than Photosynthesis

  
  The Green Optimistic — Authority: 133
  Someone has to fund experiments in this world, to accelerate the rhythm of their success, and that is currently ARPA-E. The “electrofuels” program is something they have been focusing on lately. The idea behind electrofuels is finding methods of producing biofuels with an efficiency higher than that of ...

• Plant pores could ease global warming

  
  Stupidica — Authority: 177
  Japanese researchers said on Thursday they had found a way to make plant leaves absorb more carbon dioxide in an innovation that may one day help ease global warming and boost food production. The Kyoto University team found that soaking germinated seeds in a protein solution raised the number of pores, or stomas, on ...
