A new study shows that biochar, widely promoted as a climate-smart soil amendment, can significantly reshape the social lives ...

Yuchen Geng and Arpita Bose consider the invisible foundation of life, explaining why microbes must be included in ...

A new study published in Nature, led by ecologists from the School of Biological Sciences (SBS) at The University of Hong Kong (HKU), finds that intensifying El Niño events, driven by climate change, ...

A recent study quantifies the impact of biodiversity loss on ecological functions by tracking energy flows within them. It found that declines in birds and small mammals have led to a significant ...

Every day, new areas of rainforests are converted into plantations, drastically changing tropical biodiversity and the way the ecosystem functions. Yet, the current understanding of the consequences ...

Grassland degradation fundamentally reshapes how biodiversity supports ecosystem multifunctionality, shifting it from being plant-dominated to being mediated by soil microbes, according to a new study ...

Ecological restoration is the process of reclaiming habitat and ecosystem functions by restoring the lands and waters on which plants and animals depend. Restoration is a corrective step that involves ...

Global change is profoundly impacting ecosystem functions and service provision. Previous studies have found that climate change and land use change have asymmetric interactions on water yield in ...

Wildlife biologists used a novel technique to trace the movement of carbon through Arctic and boreal forest food webs and found that climate warming resulted in a shift from plant-based food webs to ...
