Trees in tropical(热带的) forests grow more slowly in years when the nights are warmer than average or dry-season days are unusually hot,according to a 21-year study.This suggests such forests will grow less as the world warms due to climate change—potentially taking in less carbon dioxide from the air and worsening global warming.
“For the first time,we have a window on what a whole tropical forest is doing,” says Deborah Clark at the University of Missouri-St Louis.“It is very scary.”
Tropical forests contain a large amount of carbon,because the trees take in CO2 from the air and use it to grow.Droughts,which are becoming more serious due to climate change,may harm the forests and release some of the stored carbon.
For over two decades,Deborah and her husband David Clark,also at the University of Missouri-St Louis,lived at La Selva Biological Station in Costa Rica.From 1997 to 2018,they took detailed measurements of the surrounding tropical forest,tracking the wood production as well as the amount of litter that fell from the trees.
The pair,with Steven Oberbauer at Florida International University,discovered that wood production fell in years with warmer nights—something studies had already suggested before.The team also found that the trees produced less wood in years when temperatures in the dry season rose more than 28℃.While this hadn't been shown before,Deborah says it was expected because photosynthesis(光合作用) slows above this temperature.
The study adds to growing proof of climate effects on tropical forests,says Iain Hartley at the University of Exeter in the UK.“It looks like,as you warm the climate,you put pressure on the plants,leading to reduced productivity.Along with droughts,tropical forests may have less ability to help us in the fight against climate change in the future.”

B.The wood production decreased in the warmer days.
C.Droughts help increase the carbon storage.
D.Tropical forests grow faster at warmer nights.

A powerful earthquake hit Morocco on Friday night.The earthquake struck around 11 pm on Friday night.The USGS (US Geological Survey) says that the earthquake had a magnitude of about 6.8.But Morocco's earthquake center recorded the earthquake as being almost twice that strong.
The quake was one of the most powerful ever recorded in Morocco.It's also the country's deadliest earthquake in over 60 years.So far,the earthquake is reported to have killed over 2,680 people.It has injured over 2,500 others.The earthquake was extremely dangerous because it happened at night.Marrakesh is a big city that's popular with tourists.Many of its modern buildings seem to have survived the earthquake.But the old part of the city,called the Medina,was hit hard.The Medina has buildings that are over 1,000 years old.
Outside of Marrakesh,the earthquake caused even more damage.In the Atlas Mountains,the earthquake's center,there are many small villages.Some villages were nearly destroyed.Many of the people in the area live in simple houses made of mud bricks.This is a traditional way of building in Morocco.But it's not strong enough to protect against earthquakes.Many of these houses collapsed.Some of the bricks turned to sand.
Rescue workers have been working hard to save those affected by the quake.In larger cities,rescue efforts seem to be going well.
But it has taken a lot longer for help to reach far areas in the mountains.Many of these villages are difficult to get to.The earthquake caused landslides,blocking roads and making these places even more difficult to reach.In some areas,phone and electrical service were also knocked out,leaving these places completely cut off.That means that the local people in some areas far away have had to deal with the situation on their own.
But more help is coming.Some countries have offered teams of experts;others have offered emergency supplies.
