The prevalence and intensity of marine heatwaves is increasing globally, disrupting local environmental conditions. The individual and population-level impacts of prolonged heatwaves on marine species ...

The impact of local biodiversity loss on ecosystem functioning is well established, but the role of larger-scale biodiversity dynamics in the delivery of ecosystem services remains poorly understood.

"When predicting the impact of sea-level rise and climate change on these ecosystems, one might assume that they are under the most stress and at high risk of decline. However, when we examine how ...

Where hidden water tables meet the Earth's surface, life can thrive even in the driest locations. Offering refuge during times of drought, shallow groundwater aquifers act like water savings accounts ...

Controls on terrestrial ecosystem processes: an historical perspective -- Species and biotic interactions as ecosystem drivers -- Aboveground-belowground interactions as drivers of ecosystem processes ...

The common platform heralds a new era of global conservation and management policy applications. A global cross-disciplinary team of scientists led by UNSW Sydney researchers has developed the first ...

Noise from human activities is harming ocean invertebrates and ecosystems, new research shows. Noise from human activities is harming ocean invertebrates and ecosystems, new research shows. Scientists ...

As sea levels continue to rise, coastal areas face threats of submersion and increasing salinity. To assess this disequilibrium (when ecosystems are not aligned with the conditions they are ...

Yale School of Environment scientists conduct research in 2021 on how sea-level rise and other disturbance are influencing the health of mangroves in the Florida Everglades, including their ability to ...
