Colorado’s Lake Dillon is Warming Rapidly
Researchers harness 35 years of data to uncover responses of a high-elevation reservoir to a warming world.
Leafcutter Ants Emit as Much N2O as Wastewater Treatment Tanks
Tropical forests are one of the largest natural sources of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O), and a tiny insect may play a big role in how those emissions are spread out across the landscape.
Geoscientists Reconstruct ‘Eye-Opening’ 900-Year Northeast Climate Record
Deploying a new technique for the first time in the region, geoscientists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have reconstructed the longest and highest-resolution climate record for the Northeastern United States.
Scientists Fix Photosynthetic Inefficiency, Boost Crop Yields 40 Percent
Scientists have found a way to boost crop growth by as much as 40 percent by fixing a glitch in the photosynthesis process, according to a new study published in the journal Science. With current techniques to improve yields largely optimized — including using more pesticides, fertilizers, and irrigation — the scientists argue that the new findings offer a breakthrough way for farmers to feed more people on less land.
Beech Trees are Dying, and Nobody’s Sure Why
Intense effort underway to find culprit behind rapid disease spread.
