Acadia National Park is known for its beautiful lakes — and they can tell scientists a lot about the health of the environment.

Small particles from tires inhibited the growth and caused adverse behavioral changes in organisms found in freshwater and coastal estuary ecosystems, two new Oregon State University studies found.

A team of scientists used an emerging genetic tool that analyzes DNA in water samples to detect whales and dolphins in New York waters.

Airborne study reveals surprisingly large role of desert dust in forming cirrus clouds.

A new study explores large-scale relationships between vegetation and climatic characteristics using machine learning. The findings highlight the importance of climatic extremes in shaping the distribution of several major vegetation types.

Scientists have developed a new way to identify and reduce the impact of chemicals and diseases in global aquaculture (fish farming).

Fungi, specifically those that are “mycorrhizal,” are natural allies of the forest because they improve tree nutrient acquisition.

In a field of winter wheat, researchers at the University of Reading's Sonning farm in the UK had planted an unusual fumigation system: eight 8-meter octagons surrounding clusters of black mustard plants.

A UNSW Sydney-led study shows at least two times more freshwater has shifted from warm to cold regions of the earth than our climate models predicted – signifying broader changes to the global water cycle.

Results of the new study showed that the farms practicing regenerative agriculture had healthier soils
