[ 41] Nitrous oxide emissions largely come from the microbial decomposition of fertiliser.
Deforestation is a major contributor to climate change. [ 149 ] [ 150 ] [ 151 ] It is often cited as one of the major causes of the enhanced greenhouse effect . Recent calculations suggest that CO 2 emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (excluding peatland emissions) contribute about 12% of total anthropogenic CO 2 emissions, with ...
Climate change. Changes in surface air temperature over the past 50 years. [ 1] The Arctic has warmed the most, and temperatures on land have generally increased more than sea surface temperatures. Earth's average surface air temperature has increased almost 1.5 °C (about 2.5 °F) since the Industrial Revolution.

In 2012, several major academic and scientific publishing bodies mounted Project CRediT to develop a controlled vocabulary of contributor roles. [18] Known as CRediT (Contributor Roles Taxonomy) , this is an example of a flat, non-hierarchical taxonomy; however, it does include an optional, broad classification of the degree of contribution ...
There were 190 known satellite breakups between 1961 and 2006. [ 2] By 2015, the total had grown to 250 on-orbit fragmentation events. [ 3] As of 2012 there were an estimated 500,000 pieces of debris in orbit, [ 4] with 300,000 pieces below 2000 km ( LEO ). [ 1] Of the total, about 20,000 are tracked. [ 1]
