Chewing sugar-containing gum enhances the cardiovascular benefits of nitrate-rich vegetables.

Climate extremes such as heatwaves and droughts pose increasing threats to human safety, economies, and ecosystems in a warming climate.

Planting trees is widely promoted as a natural solution to climate change. 

Soils that are exposed to prolonged drought often develop desiccation cracks, which impact soil properties and exacerbate moisture loss through evapotranspiration.

For decades, climate scientists have issued warnings about positive global warming feedbacks, vicious cycles in the Earth system in which rising temperatures from burning fossil fuels beget more warming.

Death casts a shadow over life, not only for people but also other animals, plants and entire ecosystems.

Global rice production nearly doubled between the 1960s and the 2010s, despite the negative impacts of climate change, according to a new study from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

Researchers have uncovered and digitized nearly two million 18th and 19th century weather observations from across Canada that offer new insights into how the country’s climate has changed over time.

Combining cold-atom experiments with ideas from stochastic thermodynamics and quantum gravity offers a new lab perspective on one of physics' oldest conundrums.

Reasons why our walking becomes slower and more tiring with age have been uncovered by new Australian research — with findings showing the body increasingly sacrifices efficiency to stay upright.
