Nature Climate Change Nature Climate Change is a monthly journal dedicated to publishing high-quality research papers that describe the most significant and cutting-edge research on the causes, impacts and wider implications of global climate change. The journal publishes climate research across the physical, biological and social sciences and strives to integrate and communicate interdisciplinary research. The journal aims to play a leading role in: providing accessibility to a broad audience to research published both within and outside the journal; raising the visibility of climate change research in related research communities as well as the mainstream media; and offering a forum for discussion of the challenges faced by researchers and policy makers (and other interested parties) in understanding the complex mechanisms and impacts associated with the Earth’s changing climate. http://feeds.nature.com/nclimate/rss/current Nature Publishing Group en © 2024 Macmillan Publishers Limited, part of Springer Nature.

Grazing has been shown to have diverse effects on soil carbon, with local variation. This study assesses carbon changes related to grazing globally and finds that, although grazing has reduced soil carbon stocks, managing intensity could increase carbon uptake in both soils and vegetation.]]>

<![CDATA[The emerging human influence on the seasonal cycle of sea surface temperature]]> https://www.nature.com/articles/s41558-024-01958-8 Nature Climate Change, Published online: 15 March 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-01958-8

It is important to detect human influence on the climate, but natural variability can hide signals of change. Here the authors show the anthropogenic signal has emerged for sea surface temperature seasonality, primarily driven by greenhouse gas increases, and with geographical differences in change.]]>

<![CDATA[Realizing the full potential of behavioural science for climate change mitigation]]> https://www.nature.com/articles/s41558-024-01951-1 Nature Climate Change, Published online: 15 March 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-01951-1

Behavioural science offers valuable insights for mitigating climate change, but existing work focuses mostly on consumption and lacks coordination across disciplines. In this Perspective, the authors make six recommendations for improving the quality and impact of behavioural research on mitigation.]]>

<![CDATA[An amplified groundwater recharge response to climate change]]> https://www.nature.com/articles/s41558-024-01955-x Nature Climate Change, Published online: 12 March 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-01955-x

Groundwater recharge replenishes aquifers and enables them to sustain irrigated agriculture and household water access, but the sensitivity of recharge to climate change remains unclear. Our analysis of global recharge rates demonstrates their sensitivity to climatic conditions, implying that amplified and nonlinear impacts of climate change on recharge rates are likely.]]>

How groundwater recharge changes with global warming is not well constrained. Here, the authors use an empirical relationship to show that groundwater recharge is more sensitive to aridity changes than expected, implying a strong response of water resources to climate change.]]>
