Abstract Climate change associated sea-level rise (SLR) is expected to have profound impacts on coastal areas, affecting many species, including sea turtles which depend on these habitats for egg incubation. Being able to accurately model beach topography using digital terrain…...
Highlights French GHG emissions from agricultural and forest sectors were estimated. A long-term trajectory (1852–2014) was reconstructed for N2O, CH4, CO2. GHG emissions have grown four-fold since 1852, to 120,000 CO2 Eq yr−1in the 2000s. GHG emissions have only stabilised, in spite of…...
