June 16, 2020 In many regions of the world, populations of large mammalian herbivores have been displaced by cattle breeding, for example in Kenya the hippos by large herds of cattle. This can change aquatic ...
June 15, 2020 Engineers have developed a comprehensive model of deep-seated landslides and demonstrated that it can accurately recreate the dynamics of historic and current landslides occurring under varying ...
June 15, 2020 Ice melts in the Arctic Ocean were thought to be drawing large amounts of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, acting as a carbon sink and helping to mitigate greenhouse gases. But new research ...
June 15, 2020 New research has revealed unexpectedly high growth rates for deep water photosynthetic corals. The study alters the assumption that deep corals living on the brink of darkness grow extremely ...
June 12, 2020 As oceans absorb more human-made carbon dioxide from the air, a process of ocean acidification occurs that can have a negative impact on marine life. But coastal waterways, such as Chesapeake Bay, ...
June 12, 2020 A research team has discover new natural products that bacteria in water use to regulate the growth of competing ...
June 12, 2020 A mysterious cloud containing radioactive ruthenium-106, which moved across Europe in 2017, is still bothering Europe's radiation protection entities. German researchers now found out that the ...
June 12, 2020 Scientists have shed new light on how the network of gatekeepers that controls the traffic in and out of plant cells works, which they think is key to develop food crops with bigger yields and ...
June 12, 2020 Researchers have investigated the contributions that symbiotic bacteria make to the unusual life cycle and diet of reed ...
June 11, 2020 If we act quickly and decisively, there is a slim window in which we can still conserve roughly half of Earth's land in a relatively intact state, a new study ...
June 11, 2020 Researchers provide new insights into how plants sense and respond to mechanical signals, such as cell swelling, rather than chemicals signals, such as nutrients or growth ...
June 11, 2020 Watershed researchers estimate more than 1000 tons of microplastics (equal to more than 123 million plastic water bottles) are deposited in national parks and wilderness areas each year. Researchers ...
June 10, 2020 A forest's ability to store carbon depends significantly on the bedrock beneath, according to researchers who studied forest productivity, composition and associated physical characteristics of ...
June 10, 2020 A new study shows that the severe impact of the summer drought that hit Europe in 2018 was partly due to the spring heatwave that preceded it, which triggered early and rapid plant growth, depleting ...
June 10, 2020 Researchers have detected rising SARS-CoV-2 RNA levels in sewage from several cities in the Netherlands at early stages of the ...
June 9, 2020 Researchers have studied presolar materials that landed on a planet-like body. Their findings may help solve the mystery: where did all the water on Earth come ...
June 9, 2020 A new study finds that water vapor in the atmosphere may serve as a potential renewable energy source in the ...
June 9, 2020 When a lake is covered with green scums during a warm summer, cyanobacteria -- often called blue-green algae -- are usually involved. Mass development of cyanobacteria is bad for water quality. But ...
June 9, 2020 Gross ecosystem product (GEP) summarizes the economic value of nature's contributions to ...
