At Tel Aviv University and the Interuniversity Institute for Marine Sciences in Eilat, a new study analyzed the larvae development of corals and plastic additives on the reproductive process and other organisms discovered in Eilat’s coral reef.
Scientists estimate that northern peatlands contain one third of the Earth's soil carbon. This makes them important ecosystems for carbon storage, which keeps carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and controls climate change.
Zero deforestation commitments may inadvertently leave vital habitats in Latin America and Africa vulnerable to agricultural expansion, a new study has found.
Grazing is a trillion-dollar industry that is especially vital in drylands, which comprise around 40% of the Earth’s land surface and are home to half of the world’s livestock.
At the University of Konstanz, the Plant Physiology and Biochemistry research group has found earlier unidentified molecular mechanisms by which plants tend to adapt to their surroundings. It is a significant basic knowledge during times of climate change.
Earth is currently in the midst of a mass extinction, losing thousands of species each year. New research suggests environmental changes caused the first such event in history, which occurred millions of years earlier than scientists previously realized.
As precipitation patterns shift in response to climate change, scientists must understand how this change affects soil viruses. In this study, scientists analyzed DNA viruses in three grassland soils with different historical precipitation patterns: low precipitation from eastern Washington, intermediate precipitation from Kansas, and high precipitation from Iowa.
Disease-resistant corals can help “rescue” more vulnerable corals in the appropriate living conditions, according to a study from the University of California, Davis, which investigated a disease outbreak at a coral nursery in Little Cayman, Cayman Islands.
A global gathering of marine scientists has set a three-day symposium to work out how we can maximise the many life and planet protecting services we as humans benefit from our coastal habitats.
