Research published in Regional Environmental Change has shown that as climate zones shift toward hotter and drier conditions, ecological diversity will decline, posing a major threat to terrestrial ecosystems with far-reaching social and ecological impacts.

In the arid regions of the American Southwest, an unseen world lies beneath our feet. 

Can flower strips combined with hedges improve biodiversity in intensively used agricultural areas? 

Bees are generally associated with flowering meadows rather than with dense forests.

The new study is the first to include a “heat index” to measure the recurring impacts of Indian heatwaves on the country’s population.

A previously underestimated risk lurks in the frozen soil of the Arctic.

For several years, a team of researchers from the Alfred Wegener Institute used underwater microphones to listen for seals at the edge of the Antarctic.

In Ecuador’s Galápagos Islands, where ocean warming has decimated shallow-water reefs, scientists have discovered a healthy, sprawling coral reef hidden deep under the sea.

For the last five months of 2022, Lake Tahoe was the clearest it has been since the 1980s. 

Climate change, ocean degradation, and biodiversity loss are causing entire land-sea ecosystems to collapse, and island communities are disproportionately impacted.
