In a first, Germany drew more power from wind and solar than from fossil fuels last year.

Changing patterns of heat and daylight in urban environments are creating growing inequalities, with climate-related shifts reshaping daily life and disproportionately affecting vulnerable communities.

For lakes across the Northern Hemisphere, winter ice is more than a frozen surface. It is a seasonal regulator that shapes underwater ecosystems and energy balance. But as the planet warms, this frozen season is disappearing faster than expected.

Researchers from the Institute of Applied Ecology (IAE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have clarified how the herbicide chlorimuron-ethyl affects nitrogen cycling in soybean rhizosphere soils and demonstrated that a chlorimuron-ethyl-degrading bacterial strain, Chenggangzhangella methanolivorans CHL1, can help restore ecological stability in contaminated soils.

A field experiment on wild kittiwakes in Alaska reveals how short-term energy demands ripple across the year, with consequences for future reproduction and survival.

Long, narrow bands of moving moisture in the sky, known as atmospheric rivers, contribute to heatwaves in the marine environment, according to a new study published in Nature Communications by researchers from Duke University’s Nicholas School of the Environment. 

A new computer model is one of the first artificial intelligence tools to advance scientific discovery in agriculture and biogeochemistry and is 50 times more efficient than its predecessors, according to a study that offers a proof-of-principle for how AI might be used to shed light on obscure biological processes.

Tyre particles and potentially toxic tyre chemical additives have been found in dust collected from Brisbane residential balconies.

Scientists have found evidence of microplastics and nanoplastics in remote soils of Antarctica.

Streams are abruptly acidifying and turning orange or milky-white across vast regions of North America’s northwest.
