Extreme Heat and Drought Events Require More Systematic Risk Assessment
In many parts of Europe, summer 2022 has been brutal: long periods of drought combined with record high temperatures.
Burrowing Crabs Bring Beneficial Bacteria to Mangroves
Fiddler crabs burrowing beneath arid mangrove forests help bring beneficial bacteria to an ecosystem in dire need of nutrients.
Environmental Impact of 57,000 Multi-Ingredient Processed Foods Revealed
A study estimating the environmental impact of 57,000 food products in the UK and Ireland has been published by an Oxford-led research team in the journal PNAS.
‘Dream’ Discovery to Help Breed More Water-Efficient Crops
Scientists from The Australian National University (ANU) and James Cook University (JCU) have identified an "exquisite" natural mechanism that helps plants limit their water loss with little effect on carbon dioxide (CO2) intake - an essential process for photosynthesis, plant growth and crop yield.
A Model for Millions of Locations
Combining nuanced statistical methods with a robust parallel computational platform has enabled a modeling scheme that better predicts environmental conditions while being efficient enough to cover millions of monitoring locations.
