The soils and vegetation of Patagonia's fjord regions form a unique and highly sensitive ecosystem that is closely linked to marine ecosystems, sediment deposition and carbon storage in the ocean.

Antarctic fish have adapted over millennia to survive in the freezing temperatures of the Southern Ocean.

An instrument designed to measure tree height can also distinguish corn from other crops.

Continued anthropogenic climate change will increasingly enhance the odds of long, widespread and severe megadroughts

The Amazon rainforest is likely losing resilience, data analysis from high-resolution satellite images suggests. 

Lower water consumption by lower elevation forests could mean they are less adapted to drought.

Known as the common reed, the European Phragmites first appeared in North America in the 1800s, spreading quickly and aggressively through the wetlands of Canada and the United States.

When it comes to helping mitigate the effects of climate change by absorbing carbon, flora rather than fauna usually comes to mind.

Corals subjected to a stressful regime of exceptionally warm water in the laboratory came to be more tolerant of high temperatures, according to new research that offers another possible tool for preserving ailing coral reefs.

The observation that ‘the fishing’s not what it used to be’ ranks up there with ‘the one that got away’ as a story that has crossed over from folk wisdom to folklore.
