“It is known that highly biodiverse diatom communities are very efficient in producing oxygen” says Professor Janne Soininen from University of Helsinki.

Plants can absorb micro- and nanoplastics in their stems and roots, raising concerns about how natural ecosystems cope when plastic particles invade.

Wildfires are accelerating carbon loss from ecosystems, reducing the planet’s ability to store carbon and complicating efforts to meet global climate targets.

Seasonal variations with alternating dry and rainy seasons and fluctuating levels of nutrients are factors that significantly influence greenhouse gas emissions from soda lakes in the Pantanal, considered less common than emissions from freshwater lakes.

A study by the University of Barcelona has analysed the ability of red gorgonians (Paramuricea clavata), a key species for the Mediterranean marine ecosystem, to resist and recover after marine heatwaves.

The structural complexity of coral reefs creates a vibrant underwater city populated by a diverse assortment of characters.

A research team led by Rice University’s James Tour has developed a method to recycle valuable metals from electronic waste more efficiently while significantly reducing the environmental impact typically associated with metal recycling.

New research out of Southern Cross University has found previously undocumented variation in coral heat tolerance on the Great Barrier Reef, giving hope that corals’ own genetic resources may hold the key for us to help in its recovery and adaptation.

Top ocean experts have published a report that redefines the concept of “sustainable fishing” and proposes 11 “golden rules” that radically challenge the flawed approach that currently prevails in fisheries management.

Since the 1970s, coral reefs in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS) have experienced catastrophic declines in coral cover, with as much as a 50% reduction between 1998 and 2011 alone.
