Meat and Dairy Companies are Not Doing Enough to Tackle Climate Change, Study Finds

The vast majority of the world's largest meat and dairy companies have not made an explicit commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, finds a new analysis by researchers at New York University.

Climate Change Poses a Specific Extinction Threat for Coastal Lupine Plant

Climate change is altering the world we share with all living things. But it's surprisingly difficult to single out climate change as an extinction threat for any one particular species protected under the Endangered Species Act.

Environmentally Persistent Free Radicals in Wildfire Charcoals Remain Stable for Years

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) cause oxidative stress at the cellular level. Research shows that this way, amongst others, they inhibit the germination capacity of plants, produce cytotoxins or exert toxic effects on aquatic invertebrates.

Palm Oil Yields on Existing Farms Could be Increased with Improved Management Practices

Palm oil, the most important source of vegetable oil in the world, is derived from the fruit of perennial palm trees, which are farmed year-round in mostly tropical areas. The palm fruit is harvested manually every 10 days to two weeks, then transported to a mill for processing, and ultimately exported and made into a dizzying array of products from food to toiletries to biodiesel.

New Research: Climate Mitigation Effect of Old Forests has Been Greatly Overestimated

The claim that old-growth forests play a significant role in climate mitigation, based upon the argument that even the oldest forests keep sucking CO2 out of the atmosphere, is being refuted by researchers at the University of Copenhagen.

Scientists Investigate How Grasslands Respond to Climate Change

The rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration and concurrent climate change has led to yield reductions of grass-rich grassland vegetation in the past century.

Generation Duration can Predict Plant Species' Susceptibility to Climate Change

Plant species with short generation times are more sensitive to climate change than those with long generation times. This is one of the findings of a synthesis study by researchers from the German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv), the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) and the Helmholtz-Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ).

Coral-Eating Predators may Pay it Forward with Poop

Fish that dine on corals may pay it forward with poop. It's an unexpected twist on coral reef symbiosis, said Rice University marine biologist Adrienne Correa, whose lab discovered coral predator feces are jam-packed with living symbiotic algae that corals depend on for survival. The discovery confirms that poop from coral-eating fish is an important environmental source of symbiotic dinoflagellate algae on coral reefs.

Eroded Seabed Rocks Provide Key Source of Nutrition for Marine Organisms

According to a new study, drifting sea organisms at the bottom of the food chain are receiving an essential source of nutrition from eroded seabed rocks.
