New model for infectious disease could better predict future pandemics New model for infectious disease could better predict future pandemics Share Increased human-animal interactions lead to the emergence and spread of zoonotic pathogens, which cause about 75% of infectious diseases affecting human health.

Credit: James Hassell/Smithsonian In the midst of a devastating global pandemic of wildlife origin and with future spillovers imminent as humans continue to come into closer contact with wildlife, infectious-disease models that consider the full ecological and anthropological contexts of disease transmission are critical to the health of all life. Existing models are limited in their ability to predict disease emergence, since they rarely consider the dynamics of the hosts and ecosystems from which pandemics emerge.

Blue Carbon Can Boost Global Climate Change Reduction Efforts Expert Says

Table of Contents ‘Blue Carbon’ Can Boost Global Climate Change Reduction Efforts, Expert Says Global blue carbon expert Steve Crooks stands in Khor Kalba, a nature reserve and mangrove swamp near Kalba, United Arab Emirates. Mangroves accumulate the most carbon of all tropical forest types because they continuously remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere over thousands of years. Rob Barnes under license from AGEDI With national and international momentum building for protecting and enhancing coastal habitats to help combat climate change, countries around the world and U.S. states are exploring ways to expand and account for “blue carbon,” that is, atmospheric carbon that’s captured in the world’s coastal ecosystems. Tidal wetlands, mangroves, and seagrass beds remove carbon dioxide from the air via photosynthesis and store the resulting carbon in their branches, leaves, roots, and soil. Because they take more carbon out of the atmosphere
