Author Correction: Establishing long-term nitrogen response of global cereals to assess sustainable fertilizer rates (Nature Food, (2022), 3, 2, (122-132), 10.1038/s43016-021-00447-x).
Do the type of impact and vulnerability dimension matter when assessing natural hazard vulnerability?
Communities across the United States are continually impacted by natural hazards, leading to material and human losses. Natural Hazard Vulnerability (NHV) assessments can help identify variables that can increase the community's susceptibility to these losses. Several studies have assessed NHV, but ...

Increased Amazon carbon emissions mainly from decline in law enforcement.
The Amazon forest carbon sink is declining, mainly as a result of land-use and climate change14. Here we investigate how changes in law enforcement of environmental protection policies may have affected the Amazonian carbon balance between 2010 and 2018 compared with 2019 and 2020, based on atmosphe...
