The University of Córdoba is participating in the creation of the first database that harmonizes the recording of disturbances caused by insects and diseases in forests in 8 European countries by combining remote sensing, satellite images and field

Scientists have run the first proof of concept of their DNA 'time machine' to shed light on a century of environmental change in a freshwater lake -- including warming temperatures and pollution, leading to the potentially irreversible loss of biodivers

Scientists have unlocked the genetic basis underlying the remarkable variation in body size observed in song sparrows, one of North America's most familiar and beloved songbirds. This discovery also provides insights into this species' capacity to adapt

Biochar, a charcoal made from heating discarded organic materials such as crop residues, offers a path to lowering atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂). New maps, made from a first-of-its-kind high-resolution global dataset of crop residues, reveal

When animals ‘sing’ sitting on the ground— such as when crickets chirp— their volume and reach increase dramatically, by as much as ten-fold. This result from a study by Western researchers, 阅读全文

A ground-breaking new study by RMIT has found carbon emissions from Australian alpine peatlands to be much higher in areas disturbed by feral horses.

A team of experts from across Europe has produced a list of 15 over-looked and emerging issues that are likely to have a significant impact on UK forests over the next 50 years.

A UK-based team of Scientists, led by experts from the University of Nottingham and Imperial College London, have completed construction of a synthetic chromosome as part of a major international project to build the world's first synthetic yeast genome.

Scientists have engineered a chromosome entirely from scratch that will contribute to the production of the world's first synthetic yeast.

Off Barbados, researchers from Bremen have investigated how bacteria inadvertently release methane in order to obtain phosphorus -- with significant effects on atmospheric greenhouse gases.

Researchers say they have discovered high diversity of Darwin wasps in a tropical rainforest in Brazil, wasps which were previously thought to thrive more in cooler habitats.

A new analysis of 14,669 threatened species of plants and animals found in Europe reveals that about one fifth face the risk of extinction, and that agricultural land-use change poses a significant threat to these species. Axel Hochkirch of the Musé
