A long-term study of Hawaiian coral species provides a surprisingly optimistic view of how they might survive warmer and more acidic oceans resulting from climate change.
Researchers using multiple high-resolution satellite observations have found that carbon loss has more than doubled since 2001 due to forest clearance across the tropics.
The soils and vegetation of Patagonia's fjord regions form a unique and highly sensitive ecosystem that is closely linked to marine ecosystems, sediment deposition and carbon storage in the ocean.
Antarctic fish have adapted over millennia to survive in the freezing temperatures of the Southern Ocean.
An instrument designed to measure tree height can also distinguish corn from other crops.
Continued anthropogenic climate change will increasingly enhance the odds of long, widespread and severe megadroughts
The Amazon rainforest is likely losing resilience, data analysis from high-resolution satellite images suggests.
Lower water consumption by lower elevation forests could mean they are less adapted to drought.
Known as the common reed, the European Phragmites first appeared in North America in the 1800s, spreading quickly and aggressively through the wetlands of Canada and the United States.
When it comes to helping mitigate the effects of climate change by absorbing carbon, flora rather than fauna usually comes to mind.
