Human food scraps could be used to create high-quality food for farmed fish, leading to a more sustainable global fish economy, according to a team of researchers at The University of Western Australia.
In the Arctic, climate change and pollution are the biggest threats to top predators like narwals. Studying the animals' tusks reveals that diet and exposure to pollution have shifted over the past half century in response to sea-ice decline. Human emissions have also led to a sharp rise in the presence of mercury in recent years, according to an international team of researchers.
An elusive whale species in the Southern Ocean could be resilient to near-future ecosystem changes, according to a new study by the universities of Exeter and Copenhagen.
The growth of plants is fueled by carbon dioxide (CO2) present in the atmosphere. With an increase in carbon levels, it is attractive to imagine supercharged plant growth and huge tree-planting campaigns reducing the CO2 generated by agriculture, fossil fuel burning, and other human activities.
The National First People’s Gathering on Climate Change unites Traditional Owners and scientists to co-design strategies for climate adaptation and resilience.
Understanding the evolution of the polar sea ice is not enough to study the effects of the climate change on marine ecosystems in Antarctic seafloors. It is also necessary to determine the intensity of phytoplankton local production during the Antarctic summer, as stated in a new study by a research team of the Faculty of Biology and the Biodiversity Research Institute (IRBio) of the University of Barcelona, published in the journal Marine Environmental Research.
The vast reservoir of carbon that is stored in soils probably is more sensitive to destabilization from climate change than has previously been assumed, according to a new study by researchers at WHOI and other institutions.
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.
A geoscientist from Tulane University has co-authored a new study that demonstrates that human efforts to control the Mississippi River might have had an unexpected positive impact: more quick transport of carbon to the ocean.
Reforestation company Land Life and Lundin Energy have joined forces to work on a high-impact, tech-driven and multi-geography reforestation programme that consists of projects on degraded land.
