Commentary
Does heavier rain mean a bigger sink? - pp54 - 56
Dave S. Reay
Reactive nitrogen, a known pollutant, has the ability to fertilize forests, thereby boosting land-based carbon sinks. Dave S. Reay looks at its potential to reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations.

Q&A
Biodiversity: Climate change and the ecologist - pp60 - 62
Wilfried Thuiller
The evidence for rapid climate change now seems overwhelming. Global temperatures are predicted to rise by up to 4 °C by 2100, with associated alterations in precipitation patterns. Assessing the consequences for biodiversity, and how they might be mitigated, is a Grand Challenge in ecology.
