Connected areas of high-quality forest running through oil palm plantations could help support increased levels of biodiversity, new research suggests.

Wildfires in the West are becoming inevitable, and communities that rethink what it means to live with them will likely fare better than those that simply rebuild after they burn.

The researchers looked at ecological data for as long as 33 years after either fire or cutting down juniper was used to control junipers.

When it comes to groundwater quality, fracking receives much of the public attention but misses most of the picture.

Researchers from Swinburne University of Technology and the University of California synthesised 80 years of tree ring research from tropical forests to pinpoint how well they use water.
