New research from Dartmouth provides the first evidence that the Arctic’s frozen soil is the dominant force shaping Earth’s northernmost rivers. 

A team of researchers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst recently published a pioneering study that answers a central question in biology: how do organisms rally a wide range of cellular processes when they encounter a change—either internally or in the external environment—to thrive in good times or survive the bad times? 

New research led by Monterey Bay Aquarium and the University of California, Santa Cruz, reveals that denser, and more sheltered, kelp forests can withstand serious stressors amid warming ocean temperatures.

Researchers led by University of Tsukuba, based on the internal nitrogen status of a leguminous plant, have discovered peptide factors that function in the shoot and root systems to transport iron into the root nodules colonized by nitrogen-fixing bacteria.

When it comes to making fuel from plants, the first step has always been the hardest — breaking down the plant matter.

Discussions of solar energy can be quick to point out its intermittent nature: the Sun does not always shine in any one place all the time.

The same phosphorous that fertilizes the thriving agriculture of the Midwest is also responsible for a vast “dead zone” in the Gulf of Mexico near the Mississippi Delta.

Extreme events wipe out entire forests, dramatically eliminating complex ecosystems as well as local communities.
