JKX Comics is celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month! Today we honor the outstanding work of Dr. Sandra M. Díaz, an ecologist from Argentina who is changing how we view biodiversity (the variety of wildlife, plants, and other lifeforms in a particular ecosystem). Dr. Díaz’s work consisted of understanding how CO2 levels impact particular plants by examining the effects on the microorganisms within the soil. Her results provided insight on how soil organisms compete with plants for available nutrients and the impact on plant growth. This type of analysis provided a more global view on the impact of CO2 on our ecosystem which would be difficult to study by only examining the individual plant. Dr. Díaz work is widely recognized in the ecology field and she is one of the most cited environmental scientists.She is the leader of @ipbes_ , an intergovernmental organization who assess the state of biodiversity in order to improve policy. Thank you Dr. Díaz for your amazing work and your efforts to improve the world around us. #hispanicheritagemonth #latinxheritagemonth #climatestrike https://www.instagram.com/p/B2ptscBBvjr/?igshid=flqozbgamasa -- source link
