Relocating trees to protect forests struggling with climate change seems promising, but the extreme complexity of ecosystems ...

Across parts of Romania, particularly in the Buzau region and the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains, locals have long ...

New research shows tropical forests can recover twice as fast after deforestation when their soils contain enough nitrogen. Scientists followed forest regrowth across Central America for decades and ...

Enhancing the total amount and stability of soil organic carbon in ecosystems is of paramount importance for mitigating global climate change. Due to the protection provided by the silica shell, ...

Forest soils have an important role in protecting our climate: they remove large quantities of methane – a powerful greenhouse gas – from our atmosphere. Researchers from the University of Göttingen ...

Soil contamination is a global environmental concern, with toxic metals and metalloids from industrial activities persisting as long-term pollutants. Arsenic (As), although naturally occurring, ...

The soils of northern forests are key reservoirs that help keep the carbon dioxide that trees inhale and use for photosynthesis from making it back into the atmosphere. The soils of northern forests ...

Tropical forests exchange more CO2 with the atmosphere than any other terrestrial biome, meaning that even a relatively small shift in the balance of carbon uptake and release there could have a big ...

Isoprene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that is produced naturally by plants. More than 500 megatonnes of isoprene are ...
