Scientists have discovered that trees share water through interconnected root systems with nearby stumps, keeping the almost-dead stumps alive.

Alexandra Kravchenko, Michigan State University professor in the Department of Plant, Soil and Microbial Sciences, and several of her colleagues recently discovered a new mechanism determining how carbon is stored in soils that could improve the climate resilience of cropping systems and also reduce their carbon footprints.

Central London’s freshwater sources contain high levels of antibiotic resistant genes, with the River Thames having the highest amount, according to research by UCL.

Researchers in the Integrative Wildlife Conservation Lab, led by Dr. Dennis Murray from the Department of Biology, recently secured $149,694 from the National Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada’s (NSERC) Research Tools and Instruments (RTI) grants program.

Jeffrey Brook, a University of Toronto expert in air quality and health, spent nearly a year reviewing data from Canada’s Joint Oil Sands Monitoring (JOSM) program.

Two campgrounds in ruins. Houses lifted and shifted on their foundations. Thousands of trees felled as if by a giant meteorological axe.

Despite record-rainfall in 2018, underwater grass abundance remains strong

A new study from researchers at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and Harvard University may help settle a long-standing question—how small amounts of organic carbon become locked away in rock and sediments, preventing it from decomposing.

In the last ten years natural gas production has soared in the United States. This is mainly due to shale gas, which currently accounts for about 60 per cent of total US gas production.
