Melting Arctic Permafrost Releases Climate-Warming Carbon Dioxide Gas

Ancient carbon trapped in Arctic permafrost is extremely sensitive to sunlight and, if exposed to the surface when long-frozen soils melt and collapse, can release climate-warming carbon dioxide gas into the atmosphere much faster than previously thought.

Construction Begins to Maintain Ecology of Manitoba's Delta Marsh

Delta Marsh is one of North America's largest, freshwater coastal wetlands, where sportsmen and naturalists once flocked in search of outdoor adventure. Once a premier waterfowl breeding and staging marsh of the southeastern Canadian Prairies, the 19,000-hectare marsh on the south shores of Lake Manitoba was home to millions of waterfowl and wildlife, and rich vegetation flourished.

GEOMAR Scientists to Study Effects of Ocean Acidification on Plankton Communities

From January to June 2013, more than 60 European scientists will conduct a worldwide unique long-term experiment on ocean acidification at the west coast of Sweden. To study how natural marine communities develop in response to acidifying waters, the scientists will deploy a large-scale mesocosm facility in the Gullmar Fjord. The field experiment, which takes place in the framework of the German project on ocean acidification BIOACID (Biological Impacts of Ocean ACIDification), is coordinated by GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel.

Multiple Factors Influence Hummingbirds’ Selection of Downward-Facing Flowers

How flowers have evolved particular colours, shapes and scents to attract pollinators has long fascinated ecologists. Now, using artificial flowers and high-speed video, researchers have gained intriguing insights into the intimate relationship between hummingbirds and the flowers they pollinate. The study, published in the British Ecological Society's journal Functional Ecology, is the first to measure how much energy hummingbirds use while hovering to feed from flowers of different orientation.

Scientists to Examine Negative Impacts of Pollutant Nitrogen on Plant Diversity

Nitrogen is a beneficial plant fertilizer in small amounts, but large amounts cause negative impacts on ecosystems, such as water pollution, acidification of soils, increased productivity of invasive species, increased probability of wildfire, and a decline of native plant diversity.

Bacteria Preserve Crab-Like Fossil in Toxic Ocean Environment

Curtin University research showing that bacteria were responsible for the excellent preservation of a crab-like fossil during the Devonian period suggests that organic geochemistry could be a useful new tool for understanding ancient environments.
