Preparing land for palm oil causes most climate damage
New research has found preparing land for palm oil plantations and the growth of young plants causes significantly more damage to the environment, emitting double the amount of greenhouse gases than mature plantations. This is the first study to examine…
Discovery of beneficial fungal taxa may help restore native plant in the PNW
Camas, a seed-producing forb, grows in prairie and wetland habitats in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) and carries profound prehistoric and current significance as a food resource and article of commerce among indigenous cultures of the PNW. The forb once flourished…

From smoke going round the world to aerosol levels, NASA observes Australia’s bushfires
NASA scientists using data from its NOAA/NASA Suomi NPP satellite, has traced the movement of the smoke coming off the Australian fires across the globe showing that it has circumnavigated the Earth. In an image created from data gathered by…

Climate change increases the risk of wildfires confirms new review
Human-induced climate change promotes the conditions on which wildfires depend, increasing their likelihood – according to a review of research on global climate change and wildfire risk published today. In light of the Australian fires, scientists from the University of…

Plant life expanding in the Everest region
Plant life is expanding in the area around Mount Everest, and across the Himalayan region, new research shows. Scientists used satellite data to measure the extent of subnival vegetation – plants growing between the treeline and snowline – in this…
Response to fire impacts water levels 40 years into future
Salvage logging and re-seeding a forest after a wildfire helps reduce flooding and returns water levels to normal faster, according to a new paper from a Washington State University researcher. The paper, just published in the journal Hydrological Processes ,…
The calm of the deer
“Humans can have strong effects on the behaviour of wild animals and even influence their day and night rhythm,” said conservation biologist PD Dr. Marco Heurich from the University of Freiburg. A team headed by Nadège C. Bonnot of the…
Research will help land managers take risk-analysis approach to new wildfire reality
CORVALLIS, Ore. – New digital tools developed by Oregon State University will enable land managers to better adapt to the new reality of large wildfires through analytics that guide planning and suppression across jurisdictional boundaries that fires typically don’t adhere…

Greening at high latitudes may inhibit the expansion of midlatitude deserts
Desertification has always been a serious challenge for human beings, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. Projections from CMIP5 support the expansion of arid and semi-arid regions with increasing greenhouse gas concentrations. Interestingly, besides inducing a stronger greenhouse effect, increasing…

Kangaroo Island shows burn scars on one third of the land mass
NASA’s Terra satellite provided before and after imagery that showed the extent of the fires that have been ravaging Australia’s Kangaroo Island. Kangaroo Island lies off the mainland of South Australia, southwest of Adelaide. About a third of the island…
Geographers find tipping point in deforestation
Global satellite imagery shows transitions occur quickly after blocks of forest are cut in half
Grant aims to improve environmental education
Field trips can be transformative experiences for students: Having the chance to get outside of the classroom, learn from passionate practitioners and educators, and encounter new places and ideas can broaden the educational horizons for young learners. Now a collaborative…

Biodiverse forests better at storing carbon for long periods, says study
Researchers look at unlogged forests in India
Poplars genetically modified not to harm air quality grow as well as non-modified trees
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Field trials in the Northwest and Southwest show that poplar trees can be genetically modified to reduce negative impacts on air quality while leaving their growth potential virtually unchanged, says an Oregon State University researcher who collaborated…
