A new study finds that boiling and then filtering tap water can remove up to 90 percent of microplastics.

In a study recently published in the journal Ecology, University of California, Irvine scientists uncover the intricate dance between drought, wildfires and invasive species in Southern California’s coastal sage scrub ecosystems.

Researchers at UBC Okanagan are revisiting old building practices—the use of by-products and cast-offs—as a way to improve building materials and sustainability of the trade.

For the first time, researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities (UMN) and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) have demonstrated that it is possible to provide accurate, high-resolution predictions of carbon cycles in agroecosystems, which could help mitigate the impacts of climate change.

If storms become stronger in the future due to climate change, more nitrogen may be released from the bottom of coastal seas. 

Black carbon is the most dangerous air pollutant you’ve never heard of. 

In a new study, researchers have developed a method for capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, powered by clean and relatively inexpensive geothermal energy. 

Every day, new areas of rainforests are converted into plantations, drastically changing tropical biodiversity and the way the ecosystem functions.

Biologists find no link between fish size and gill surface area—study suggests that ​​models underlying some projections of future fisheries yields need to be reconsidered.

Rice feeds the world. But a look-alike weed has many ways of getting ahead.
