Various species endure evolutionary changes when a plant community is subjected to drought. An international study involving UZH researchers has now found that this leads to improved drought resilience over time.
A new study performed has discovered the fact that climate change is having an effect on how big whale species, such as the crucially threatened North Atlantic right whale, tend to utilize habitats in the warming Gulf of Maine.
Even if it is possible for the society to decelerate all greenhouse gas emissions and get to the so-called “net zero” by mid-century as aimed by nations of the world in the UN Paris Agreement, there is a delay constructed in the climate system mainly due to the ocean thermal inertia (also, ice sheets).
Thanks to climate change, high-elevation forests in the Central Cascade mountains of the Pacific Northwest are burning more frequently and expansively than in the recent past, prompting researchers and fire managers to question whether forests will be able to recover from these emerging fire patterns and whether they will require human assistance to do so.
A hotter ocean is a hungrier ocean-;at least as far as fish predators are concerned. In a new field study published online June 9 in Science, Smithsonian scientists discovered predator impacts in the Atlantic and Pacific peak at higher temperatures.
In a study published in the Journal of Wildlife Management, investigators predicted the geographic range restriction of several different species of salamanders in eastern Canada and the United States under future climate scenarios in 2050 and 2070.
A Curtin University research centre will continue to discover new ways to reduce the economic impact of crop disease for Australian growers, with a further five-year investment of $30 million by the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC).
At the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon, samples collected from the tropical Indian Ocean were examined by scientists by making use of a new technique for the extraction and identification of microplastic particles gathered from water samples.
Because the treasured rainforest in the Amazon River region of South America is constantly shrinking, the river itself currently presents proof of other dangers: the overuse of freshwater fish.
Environmental scientists are taking a novel approach to help potential restoration of sediment and water quality in some of the most degraded sections of a South Australian wetland ecosystem – from the ground up.
