A global research effort led by Colorado State University shows that extreme, prolonged drought conditions in grasslands and shrublands would greatly limit the long-term health of crucial ecosystems that cover nearly half the planet.

Scientists say that warming has breached a critical threshold for tropical coral reefs, which are expected to see catastrophic losses in the years ahead.

An ambitious new research project is aiming to better understand the lives of king salmon by focusing on their difficult journey from freshwater habitat to the ocean.

Extreme conditions including 40C heat seen in 2022 led to all fuel sources in heathlands to dry leading to significant increase in threat of wildfire incidents.

Every year, many millions of tons of plastic end up in the ocean. It’s a serious and rapidly increasing environmental problem.

Climate-driven oxygen loss in the Black Sea thousands of years ago triggered the expansion of microorganisms capable of producing the potent neurotoxin methylmercury.

There are relatively few snow leopards in the world, and it has likely been that way for a long time, a new study indicates.

New research shows that marine heatwaves can reshape ocean food webs, which in turn can slow the transport of carbon to the deep sea and hamper the ocean’s ability to buffer against climate change.

They are microscopic, yet they play a gigantic role in the climate system: the tiny microalgae collectively known as phytoplankton.

Trawling restrictions not only benefits fish and shellfish; anemones and corals are also becoming more common, according to a new study from the University of Gothenburg.
