Researchers at Northern Arizona University and the Smithsonian found an unconventional method to understand how rainforests will survive with climate change—making tea with living leaves at the top of ...

For decades, ever since biologists recognized the potential environmental harms from climate change, they have worried that plants will not be able to evolve fast enough to adapt to a rapidly warming ...

USS GEOENGINEERING: A weird experiment in climate modification is underway in the Bay. On Tuesday morning, a group of scientists launched a stream of microscopic salt particles into the sky off the ...

"If we really want to have a shot at mitigating the worst effects of climate change, carbon removal needs to start scaling to the point where it can supplement large-scale emissions reductions," said ...

Climate-driven extreme river discharge is projected to prolong and intensify coastal hypoxia, with stronger stratification and spatially uneven oxygen loss, suggests a study using an event-based ...

A new global review of observed climate change impacts on plant communities reveals major gaps in where and how we monitor ...

Thanks to an experiment started before the Great Depression, researchers have pinpointed the genes behind the remarkable adaptability of barley, a key ingredient in beer and whiskey. These insights ...

If carbon emissions are curbed and local stressors are addressed, coral reefs have the potential to persist and adapt over time. That’s according to a study published in Proceedings of the National ...

Atmospheric scientists began spraying sea salt aerosol into the atmosphere from Alameda, California, on April 3. The scientists are with the University of Washington’s Marine Cloud Brightening (MCB) ...
