MPI-GEA researchers are part of a long-term collaborative ethnographic framework applying isotope analysis to human hair to study how pastoralist diets in eastern Africa adapt to rainfall variation in increasingly extreme 21st century conditions.
Climate change, deforestation, and habitat loss are promoting increasingly uniform forests, where fast-growing tree species displace native trees. This reduces biodiversity, makes trees less resilient to disease, and weakens forests’ ability to store CO₂. This is shown by a comprehensive international study.
