A study led by the UAB and the CREAF shows that the loss of nitrogen from Arctic soil not only deprives plants of a vital nutrient but also contributes, proportionally and irreversibly, to increased ...

Large subarctic wildfires are causing environmental damage, releasing stored carbon, and forcing residents to relocate. Subarctic ecosystems are experiencing earlier, longer, and more intense wildfire ...

By envisioning different pathways through which ecosystems might respond to climate change and other stressors, natural resource managers can identify critical moments where specific actions, such ...

The political prospects for an entirely new ecosystem-protection act are low, even in a Democratic administration: Although 60 percent of Americans tell pollsters that “stricter environmental ...

A recent study by Connecticut College has uncovered strong evidence that palm trees once thrived in subarctic Canada. This surprising discovery reshapes what scientists know about past Arctic ...

The Arctic and Subarctic seas are predicted to become hotspots for marine heatwaves (MHWs). High-latitude marine ecosystems face unique consequences from accelerated warming and sea ice loss, ...

The Global Ecosystems Atlas is a tool that aims to serve as an open-source repository for data on all the ecosystems in the world. Developed by the intergovernmental initiative Group on Earth ...

“As a subarctic ecosystem at the sea ice margin, the eastern Bering Sea is warming faster than much of the global ocean, resulting in the rapid redistribution of key fishery and subsistence resources, ...

The animal kingdom is filled with fascinating species whose names end with the letter 'E,' each uniquely adapted to thrive in their specific environments across the globe. From the vast savannas where ...

Changes observed in the context of observations from the mooring program include delayed spring bloom, low abundances of large crustacean zooplankton and crab species, seabird die-offs, changes in ...

With unprecedented climates, novel ecosystems, invasive species, and disruptions to the food chain, we can expect more and more species to be added to the threatened list.
