New research reveals that losing plant diversity could reduce grasslands’ carbon uptake by 15% globally and up to 50% in some ...

Researchers at Northern Arizona University and the Smithsonian found an unconventional method to understand how rainforests will survive with climate change—making tea with living leaves at the top of ...

For decades, ever since biologists recognized the potential environmental harms from climate change, they have worried that plants will not be able to evolve fast enough to adapt to a rapidly warming ...

USS GEOENGINEERING: A weird experiment in climate modification is underway in the Bay. On Tuesday morning, a group of scientists launched a stream of microscopic salt particles into the sky off the ...

Climate-driven extreme river discharge is projected to prolong and intensify coastal hypoxia, with stronger stratification and spatially uneven oxygen loss, suggests a study using an event-based ...

Thanks to an experiment started before the Great Depression, researchers have pinpointed the genes behind the remarkable adaptability of barley, a key ingredient in beer and whiskey. These insights ...

"If we really want to have a shot at mitigating the worst effects of climate change, carbon removal needs to start scaling to the point where it can supplement large-scale emissions reductions," said ...

If carbon emissions are curbed and local stressors are addressed, coral reefs have the potential to persist and adapt over time. That’s according to a study published in Proceedings of the National ...
