Degraded Soils Mean Tropical Forests May Never Fully Recover from Logging
Continually logging and re-growing tropical forests to supply timber is reducing the levels of vital nutrients in the soil, which may limit future forest growth and recovery, a new study suggests.
Surge in Global Methane Emissions Traced Back to East African Wetland
Scientists believe they have found one of the key drivers behind a spike in global methane emissions in recent years.
Fine-Tuning Thermoelectric Materials for Cheaper Renewable Energy
Materials known as halide perovskites have been proposed as affordable alternatives to existing thermoelectric materials, however so far research into their suitability for thermoelectric applications has been limited.
Filtered Coffee Helps Prevent Type 2 Diabetes, Show Biomarkers in Blood Samples
Coffee can help reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes – but only filtered coffee, rather than boiled coffee. New research from Chalmers University of Technology and Umeå University, both in Sweden, show that the choice of preparation method influences the health effects of coffee.
Even Resilient Common Species Are Not Immune to Environmental Crisis
A recent study by scientists from NUS revealed that the current biodiversity crisis may be much broader than widely assumed, and may affect even species thought to be common and tolerant of fragmentation and habitat loss.
