Although vegetation is not the only type of debris caused by a hurricane, it is an important predictor of where roads will be blocked.

Some types of soil act more like concrete than a sponge, allowing water to flow off to flood streams, creeks and rivers.

Losing fur seals from the South Shetland Islands means losing crucial genetic diversity the species may need to adapt to rapid climate change.

Wildfires and development threaten that water supply

A blizzard, multiple rainstorms, and melting winter ice swelled rivers out of their banks and across a flat floodplain in Minnesota, North Dakota, and Manitoba.

The key takeaway is that vegetation models, which use mathematical equations and plant characteristics to estimate future forest growth, may need to be updated.

The microlayer between ocean and atmosphere is at the center of a new research group led by Oldenburg scientists.

Texas A&M AgriLife Extension economists' tally includes fence damage, lost grazing value and livestock deaths.

Research also finds that increased pollution in Asia may reduce tropical cyclones

Farmlands across Europe are potentially the biggest global reservoir of microplastics due to the high concentrations found in fertilisers derived from sewage sludge, new research has shown.
