A second chance to protect wetlands
Wetlands are among the most threatened ecosystems in the world. A new study, published in Nature, has found that the loss of wetland areas around the globe since 1700 has likely been overestimated.
Protecting and connecting nature across Europe
The Horizon Europe NaturaConnect Project will support European Union governments and other public and private institutions in designing a coherent, resilient and well-connected Trans-European Nature Network.
Introducing a new solution to decode carbon and ecosystem service needs
American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America proudly present a free, online source for unbiased, science-based information. The new platform is live, and it’s called Decode 6
Losing Nature Impacts Black, Hispanic, and Low-Income Americans Most
When nature vanishes, people of color and low-income Americans disproportionally lose critical environmental and health benefits–including air quality, crop productivity and disease control–a new study in Nature Communications finds.
Uncovering how grasslands changed our climate
A new study uncovered how grasslands used by humans have changed our climate over the last centuries.
Informing the next generation of biodiversity goals
According to an international team of researchers, a ‘safety net’ made up of multiple, interlinked and ambitious goals is needed to tackle nature’s alarming decline.
How are wetland plants and soils different from drier soils?
Wetlands are characterized by saturation levels, hydric soils, and hydrophytic plants
How to Tackle Climate Change, Food Security and Land Degradation
How can some of world’s biggest problems – climate change, food security and land degradation – be tackled simultaneously? Some lesser-known options, such as integrated water management and increasing the organic content of soil, have fewer trade-offs than many well-known options, such as planting trees, according to a Rutgers-led study in the journal Global Change Biology.
Towards a new generation of vegetation models
A new study explored the most important organizing principles that control vegetation behavior and how they can be used to improve vegetation models.
