Third Breakthrough Demonstrates Photosynthetic Hacks Can Boost Yield, Conserve Water
Plants are factories that manufacture yield from light and carbon dioxide—but parts of this complex process, called photosynthesis, are hindered by a lack of raw materials and machinery.
Sea-Level Rise Could Make Rivers More Likely to Jump Course
Sea-level rise due to climate change is poised to shift the way that rivers naturally chart their path to the shoreline.
How People & Ecosystems Fit Together on the Great Barrier Reef
A world-first study examining the scales of management of the Great Barrier Reef has the potential to help sustain other ecosystems across the world.
Spread of Monsoon Circulation Changes Explains the Uncertainty in CMIP6 Global Land Monsoon Precipitation Projection
A recent work published in Geophysical Research Letters by a team of researchers from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics (IAP) at the Chinese Academy of Sciences finds that the projected uncertainty of the precipitation increase over global land monsoon regions by the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) models is mainly due to the spread of the circulation changes across models.
‘Critical’ Questions Over Disease Risks From Ocean Plastics
Key knowledge gaps exist in our understanding of how ocean microplastics transport bacteria and viruses – and whether this affects the health of humans and animals, researchers say.
