A study published in Nature found that tropical trees may be more adaptable to drought than scientists previously believed.
Tropical forests store enormous amounts of carbon and harbor most of the world's terrestrial biodiversity, but scientists have expressed concern that increasingly severe droughts could threaten the forests' ability to survive and continue absorbing carbon from the atmosphere.
A study published in Nature suggests tropical trees may be more adaptable to drought than previously believed. The research offers unexpected hope for the ability of tropical forests to weather changing climate conditions.
Japanese researchers used computational analysis to identify how small structural changes in molecules determine their light-emission behavior in solid form, moving luminescent material design away from empirical experimentation.
Divers in Honduras are hunting venomous lionfish using homemade spears and competitions to control populations that are damaging Caribbean reefs.
A new study co-authored by Bardi Jawi rangers and traditional owners documents how reef and mangrove ecosystems support culturally important fish species through interconnected pathways.
