Climate change will reshape ecosystems worldwide through two types of climate events: short-term, extreme events — like a heat wave — and long-term changes, like a shift in ocean currents.

Since 1934, the Redfield ratio – the recurring ratio of 106:16:1 of carbon to nitrogen to phosphorus (C:N:P) in phytoplankton and the pathways by which these elements are circulated throughout all parts of the Earth – has been a cornerstone of oceanography.

A new study investigates a novel process for lessening the negative environmental impact of coal mine drainage and extracting rare-earth elements from it, precious minerals needed to manufacture many high-tech devices.

A study published in Science Advances by an international team of scientists provides clear evidence that marine phytoplankton are much more resilient to future climate change than previously thought.

Ocean warming is driving an increase in the frequency and severity of marine heatwaves, causing untold damage to coral reefs.

By carefully planning patches of diverse vegetation, scientists say it is possible to increase biodiversity and increase yields for farmers.

The number of simultaneously acting global change factors has a negative impact on the diversity of plant communities – regardless of the nature of the factors.

Sea urchin larvae raised in high levels of plastic pollution die due to developmental abnormalities, new research shows.

A new study by researchers at the University of Oxford, finds that logged rainforests are treasure-troves of healthy ecological function and should not be written off for oil palm plantations.

In climate-smart forestry, forests and peatlands should provide livelihoods for their owners, but also sequestrate carbon, safeguard biodiversity, and provide recreation.
