Sinossi

Moss Eats Rocks explores the surprising role of mosses in reshaping our planet through chemical weathering. Often overlooked, these tiny plants actively break down rocks, influencing soil formation, nutrient cycling, and even climate regulation.

 
The book highlights the fascinating mechanisms by which mosses, using rhizoids and secreting organic acids, contribute significantly to biogeochemical cycles. It challenges the traditional view that weathering is solely driven by physical forces, revealing how mosses actively sculpt landscapes.

 
This book progresses from introducing basic weathering concepts and moss adaptations to detailing chemical processes and their ecological consequences across diverse environments, such as arctic tundra and temperate forests.

 
By examining plant-rock interactions at a micro-scale, using advanced imaging techniques, the book quantifies mosses' contribution to weathering rates. This interdisciplinary approach connects earth sciences, biology, and ecology, providing a unique understanding of moss-mediated weathering and its wider implications for carbon sequestration and environmental science.

Renewable Energy - A Very Short...

Nick Jelley

Energy is vital for a good standard of living, and affordable sources of power that do not cause climate change or pollution are crucial. Renewable energy is recognized as providing the answer, with countries from around the world deciding at COP28 in 2023 to aim to triple the global renewable energy capacity by 2030, for the transition away from fossil fields to be on track for net-zero emissions by 2050.This Very Short Introduction describes the main sources of renewable energy—solar PV, wind, hydropower, and biomass—their innovative technologies, and what each could deliver. It also discusses the relatively small contributions expected from tidal, wave, geothermal, and nuclear power, and from carbon capture and storage. Electrification of buildings, industry, and transport for net-zero will roughly triple the supply of electricity, and this can be met predominantly by solar PV and wind power.The learning effect has resulted in a dramatic drop in the price of wind and solar PV power in the last decade, making them the cheapest generators of electricity in most parts of the world. The Very Short Introduction ends by discussing the actions needed that include strong consistent policies, financial initiatives to take advantage of the long-term benefits of renewables, and good community involvement.
