Average tree size across the Amazon has increased by 3.2% every decade consistent with a response to rising carbon dioxide levels, a new study suggests. 

With a pioneering, comprehensive approach on a global scale, Brazilian researchers have developed a methodology that allows them to project the physiological responses of herds of different production animal species to the impacts of climate change between 2050 and 2100.

Corals, the foundation of ocean biodiversity, are threatened by climate change. But new research suggests that these organisms might be more resilient than previously thought.

A team of researchers including Rice University’s James Tour and Shichen Xu has developed an ultrafast, one-step method to recover rare earth elements (REEs) from discarded magnets using an innovative approach that offers significant environmental and economic benefits over traditional recycling methods.

As sand temperatures continue to rise, concerns about the future of sea turtles are growing. Hotter nests not only skew sex ratios – producing more females – but also reduce hatchling survival, slow growth, and increase the likelihood of physical deformities.

In July 2024, a 7.4-magnitude earthquake struck Calama, Chile, damaging buildings and causing power outages.

The energy demands of generative AI are expected to continue increasing dramatically over the next decade.

The breakthrough enhances scientific understanding of the dangerous storms and their long-term impacts on the climate.

Researchers have shown that pollen collected by honeybees contains Streptomyces bacteria that are endophytes, symbionts living inside plant tissue. 

Hawaiʻi’s ecosystems and agriculture face growing threats from invasive species, with about 20 new insects and 100 new plants arriving each year, undermining the islands’ ecological, cultural and economic foundations.
