Already Fewer Seeds and Fruits Under Mild Heat Conditions
“Better safe than sorry”: Plants anticipate potential heatwaves by already slowing down pollen development under mild heat conditions, concludes Stuart Jansma in his PhD research project.
Slowing of Continental Plate Movement Controlled Timing of Earth’s Largest Volcanic Events
Scientists have shed new light on the timing and likely cause of major volcanic events that occurred millions of years ago and caused such climatic and biological upheaval that they drove some of the most devastating extinction events in Earth’s history.
Research Reveals Remarkable Variability in Coral Heat Tolerance
Marine heat waves have decimated corals in recent years and the future looks bleak for tropical reefs if the pace of climate change continues at current rates.
