UrduMany people believe that climate change is pushing back the start of fall leaf color to later in the year. But that does not appear to be the case. Instead, fall foliage might become less brilliant under warming conditions, according…

New research reveals how El Niño caused the greatest ever mass extinction
Mega ocean warming El Niño events were key in driving the largest extinction of life on planet Earth some 252 million years ago, according to new research.
FAU Lands $1.3M NSF Grant to Boost Dryland Soil Quality Amid Climate Stressors
Drylands, found across every continent, cover about 45% of the Earth’s land surface and support 38% of the human population. The NSF grant will enable scientists to enhance understanding of climate resistance of individual microbes and to improve microbial remediations to reduce soil degradation under climate change.
Going ‘Back to the Future’ to Forecast the Fate of a Dead Florida Coral Reef
How coral populations expand into new areas and sustain themselves over time is limited by the scope of modern observations. Going back thousands of years, a study provides geological insights into coral range expansions by reconstructing the composition of a Late Holocene-aged subfossil coral death assemblage in S.E. Florida and comparing it to modern reefs throughout the region.
Polar bears unlikely to adapt to longer summers
More time stranded on land means greater risk of starvation for polar bears, a new study indicates.
Stoichiometric mismatch between phytoplankton and zooplankton under climate warming and eutrophication
The aquatic ecosystem functioning is at risk of being disrupted by the stoichiometric mismatch between phytoplankton and zooplankton.
Climate change could lead to “widespread chaos” for insect communities
New research from Binghamton University, State University of New York explores how a warming world could impact ecosystems and derail the development of new species.
Climate Warming, Water Management Impacts on West Florida’s Continental Shelf
FAU’s Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute and collaborator conducted a study that provides an assessment of the potential effects of climate warming and water management of the West Florida Shelf dynamics during two particular events that affect its hydrology through the lens of a very high-resolution model.
More Difficult Than Expected For Glaciers To Recover From Climate Warming
Ice shelves are floating extensions of glaciers. If Greenland’s second largest ice shelf breaks up, it may not recover unless Earth’s future climate cools considerably. This is the result of a new study, published in Nature Communications.
