Researchers from Zhejiang Shuren University and China Agricultural University revealed the mechanisms and effects of plastic pollution on antibiotic resistance and soil health.
The world’s natural capital is anticipated to decline as climate change redistributes terrestrial ecosystems throughout the planet, resulting in a 9% loss of ecosystem services by 2100.
Remote sensing-equipped wildfire management systems may enhance first responders’ capacity to anticipate and contain the spread of catastrophic forest fires.
According to recent Oxford University research, shocks to the global economy resulting from ecosystem degradation and biodiversity loss might cost upwards of $5 trillion.
Ecosystems fulfil a number of vital tasks: They store carbon, clean polluted water, pollinate plants and so on. How well an ecosystem can fulfil these tasks depends largely on its biodiversity, i.e. the variety of plants, animals and microorganisms that live in it.
In devasting cases dotting the globe in recent years, climate warming has led to an increase in the number and severity of destructive wildfires. Climate change projections indicate that environmental and economic damage from wildfires will spread and escalate in the years ahead.
Record-breaking marine heatwaves will cause devastating mass coral bleaching worldwide in the next few years, according to a University of Queensland coral reef scientist.
Recent research conducted at the University of Queensland reveals that a significant proportion, nearly a third, of the world’s mine tailings are stored either within or in close proximity to protected conservation areas.
As the planet gets hotter, animal and plant species around the world will be faced with new, potentially unpredictable living conditions, which could alter ecosystems in unprecedented ways.
According to a recent study on shallow-water ecosystems, by 2100, mangroves, tidal marshes, and coral habitats could all significantly diminish due to climate change and coastal land usage, whereas seagrass meadows could expand and macroalgal beds might remain steady. The results of this study are published in the open-access journal PLOS Climate by Hirotada Moki and colleagues from the Port and Airport Research Institute in Japan.
