Another way to collect a stool sample is to loosely place plastic wrap across the rim of the toilet, under the seat. Then place the stool sample in a clean, sealable container before taking to the laboratory. Plastic wrap can also be used to line the diaper of an infant or toddler who is not yet using the toilet. The stool should be collected into clean, dry plastic jars with screw-cap lids.
Effects of rising temperatures. Increased soil respiration â Rising temperature increases the rate of chemical and biochemical reactions. For soil microbes and roots, that also means increasing respiration, which can release more carbon dioxide and even methane from soils.
Regional impacts of climate change (droughts, severe storms) What climate models predict: temperature rise, sea level rise, maxing out of carbon uptake by ecosystems, drought, severe storms, crop failures, loss of fresh water, impact on human health, extinction of species. GDP will decrease by 1-5% for each 7.2 degree F rise in temperature.
