Experts from the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH) are joining leading scientists from across Europe to provide practical and effective solutions for addressing the global biodiversity crisis.

An international team of scientists led by Newcastle University has produced the first global assessment of areas at greatest risk of Glacial Lake Outburst Floods and identified priority areas for mitigation.

AA new study has for the first time predicted which invasive species could pose a future threat to the UK’s ecologically unique Overseas Territories.

Almost all of Africa’s maize crop is at risk from the devastating fall armyworm pest (Spodoptera frugiperda) according to new research published in the journal Frontiers in Insect Science.

At a time when climate change is making many areas of the planet hotter and drier, it’s sobering to think that deserts are relatively new biomes that have grown considerably over the past 30 million years.

Michigan State University researchers have solved a puzzle that could help switchgrass realize its full potential as a low-cost, sustainable biofuel crop and curb our dependence on fossil fuels.

A University of Queensland-led study has shown that expanding global seaweed farming could go a long way to addressing the planet’s food security, biodiversity loss and climate change challenges.

In Essex County, Ont., the nighttime sky glows orange and greenhouses dominate the landscape. 

Most farm fields in the U.S. Midwest lay bare over the winter. From the time of corn and soybean harvests—sometime between September and December—until the planting season in spring, valuable topsoil is often unprotected.

Soils are under pressure from current farming practices, and the challenges are only increasing with the growing demand for food production.
