Las especies han tenido que reaccionar muy rápido al cambio climático, en algunos casos, se adaptan modificando sus rangos o ingiriendo distintos tipos de alimentos, estos son cinco ejemplos del desfase de la sincronía ambiental que los científicos han descubierto hasta ahora.
Carbon sequestration in soil and vegetation is an effective way to pull carbon from the atmosphere that in some ways is the opposite of geoengineering. Instead of overcoming nature, it reinforces it, promoting the propagation of plant life to return carbon to the soil that was there in the first place.
Múltiples factores, como la falta de tierra para cultivar y para pastorear, afectan gravemente a países del continente africano, especialmente a Kenia, en donde se vive una crisis sangrienta por el robo de ganado y las batallas por los pastizales.

Industrial mono-crop farmers are turning to cover crops to save their soil and their farms. They are building resilience into their farming systems, working with nature instead of against it.
No-till, or “soil conservation” farming is a growing trend in America. It can regenerate soil, increase yields, and decrease use of chemicals.
