Researchers at University College Cork (UCC) and the Swedish Museum of Natural History examined the end-Permian mass extinction (252 million years ago) that eliminated almost every species on Earth, with entire ecosystems collapsing.
Climate change might be behind an unusual disease outbreak among Antarctic fish.
During the Cenozoic, the growth of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) forced considerable climate and environmental variation in this region.
As climate change alters environments across the globe, scientists have discovered that in response, many species are shifting the timing of major life events, such as reproduction.
According to a new study performed, over the last 120 years, temperature variations have negatively affected the majority of the species of bumble bees.
Water can move through the ground more rapidly when permafrost thaws, resulting in a complicated subsurface flow system.
At the University of Portsmouth, scientists state that a “one size fits all” method to conserving mangrove forests will not work as a new study discloses a fragile blue carbon system.
A new modeling study headed by scientists at Duke University has found that increasing sea levels make marshes shift inland in six mid-Atlantic states, and the coastal zone will not remain to act as a carbon sink but liberate more carbon into the air.
According to a new study performed, the need to deal with climate change has turned out to be all the more pressing and so too does the simultaneous requirement for proactive stewardship of the quickly altering biosphere of the Earth.
Robust long-term ecosystem restoration relies not just on replanting native vegetation but on the recovery of underlying soil biodiversity – yet this area has received little attention and is poorly understood, Flinders University researchers say.
