Researchers Identify Nonlinear Process of Northern Hemisphere Lake Ice Loss
For lakes across the Northern Hemisphere, winter ice is more than a frozen surface. It is a seasonal regulator that shapes underwater ecosystems and energy balance. But as the planet warms, this frozen season is disappearing faster than expected.
‘Rivers in the Sky’ Influence Marine Heatwaves
Long, narrow bands of moving moisture in the sky, known as atmospheric rivers, contribute to heatwaves in the marine environment, according to a new study published in Nature Communications by researchers from Duke University’s Nicholas School of the Environment.
Herbicide Residues Disrupt Nitrogen Cycling in Soybean Soils, but Beneficial Bacterium Helps Restore Soil Health
Researchers from the Institute of Applied Ecology (IAE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have clarified how the herbicide chlorimuron-ethyl affects nitrogen cycling in soybean rhizosphere soils and demonstrated that a chlorimuron-ethyl-degrading bacterial strain, Chenggangzhangella methanolivorans CHL1, can help restore ecological stability in contaminated soils.
Can Hawaiʻi Grow Rice Again? Yes, and Faster than in Japan
Last fall, University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa researchers asked the question: Can Hawaiʻi grow rice again?
Seabirds Trade Their Survival to Raise More Chicks Next Year Through Flexible Energy Use
A field experiment on wild kittiwakes in Alaska reveals how short-term energy demands ripple across the year, with consequences for future reproduction and survival.
