Along with the changing climate, the world’s forests are also changing. Right from the Blue Ridge forest of Appalachia to the misty redwoods in the west, several sylvan ecosystems are acclimatizing to drier environments.
What is common about flood control, pandas, chocolate, and migratory birds? Several countries are gaining profit from ecosystem services offered outside their nations.
Scientists have created a set of three novel tools to design Issatchenkia orientalis, a low-pH-tolerant yeast, for synthesizing valuable bioproducts from renewable biomass.
In a paper published earlier this year in the scientific journal Remote Sensing of Environment, a team from Water Mapping, in collaboration with scientists at other institutes across the US and Canada, describes how using multiple remote sensors allows for the rapid estimation of the thickness and nature of oil spills.

Several researchers are finding methods to create more sustainable practices that preserve high crop yields with less inputs.
Researchers in Finland and the United States have conducted a new study demonstrating that warmer and shorter winters result in increased methane emissions from northern lakes.
Cavotec’s next generation Automatic Plug-in System (APS) solution for charging electric ferries has entered service in Oslo, enabling safe, fast and clean vessel charging, and highlighting our role as a leadin...
Beads containing bacteria and a slow-release food supply to sustain them can be used to clean up contaminated groundwater for several months without the need for maintenance.

The goal of the NECOC (NEgative Carbon dioxide to Carbon) research project carried out at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) is to construct a special test facility for actively bringing down atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2).
There have been changes in the atmospheric circulation in the Southern Hemisphere caused by the same chemicals that destroy the ozone layer that protects the Earth.
Satellite data collected from a shipping lane in the south Atlantic revealed that the ships alter clouds to block an additional 2 W of solar energy, on average, from reaching each square meter of the surface of the ocean close to the shipping lane.
At the University of Bristol, a group of researchers has designed a new photosynthetic protein system that facilitates a more sustainable and improved approach to solar-powered technological devices.
Heating and cooling of space is a standard requirement in a majority of the inhabited regions. Europe’s energy consumption on air conditioning is increasing, and this situation is likely to become worse in the days to come because of the rise in temperature in different parts of the world.
A new study shows that rumors that electric cars could actually elevate carbon emissions are baseless in virtually all parts of the world.
