Wetlands are among the most threatened ecosystems in the world.

The Coral Nurture Program (CNP) has been named an Official Actor in the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration.

A decrease in tropical forest biomass stemming from changes in climate may lead to increased carbon emissions that could accelerate global warming, according to a new study co-authored by YSE postdoctoral associate Maria del Rosario Uribe and Paulo Brando, associate professor of ecosystem carbon capture.

Small isolated wetlands that are full for only part of the year are often the first to be removed for development or agriculture, but a new study shows that they can be twice as effective in protecting downstream lake or river ecosystems than if they were connected to them. 

Forests contribute to human well-being by providing a wide variety of ecosystem services to the society.

In the race to restore some of North America’s most biodiverse and threatened ecosystems, a straightforward first step is likely among the most important.

While microplastics have received significant attention in recent years for their negative environmental impacts, a new study from Oregon State University scientists found microfibers from synthetic materials as well as cotton impacted the behavior and growth of water organisms.

A new conceptual framework for incorporating the way plants use carbon and water, or plant dynamics, into fine-scale computer models of wildland fire provides a critical first step toward improved global fire forecasting.

In addition to oxygen, nitrogen or carbon dioxide, the air we breathe contains small amounts of organic gases, such as benzene and toluene.

Mass coral bleaching events are making it harder for some species of reef fish to identify competitors, new research reveals.
