Marine planning must take climate change into consideration, researchers say

Promoting the sustainable development of marine environments requires planning, just as we have long had spatial planning for land-based activities.

Light-sensitive molecule can interpret moonlight to synchronize the reproductive cycles of marine life

How animals are able to interpret natural light sources to adjust their physiology and behaviour is poorly understood.

Research finds highest levels of pathogenic bacteria in urban and agricultural soils

During heavy rains, Hawaii's streams, rivers, and nearshore waters change on microscopic levels. Bacteria in these aquatic systems increase, and some of these bacteria can be harmful to human health.

Interseeded cover crops provide nitrogen services in organic corn systems

Fields of amber grain may be the poetic image of American farmland. And it's true that the U.S. grows plenty of wheat. But fields of yellow grain – corn – may be more accurate.

Pollen from ragweed plants in different areas exhibit varied levels of aggressiveness

The different geographic and climatic regions from which ragweed pollen originates, as well as the degree of environmental pollution, may influence the severity of allergic reactions such as hay fever and asthma.

Plant-based meat and dairy alternatives offer a healthier and more environmentally sustainable solution, study says

According to the authors of a new study, plant-based dietary substitutes for animal products are healthier for both the environment and people than the animal products they are meant to replace.

Enriching lakes with bacteria could be a natural way to remove plastic pollution

A study of 29 European lakes has found that some naturally-occurring lake bacteria grow faster and more efficiently on the remains of plastic bags than on natural matter like leaves and twigs.

Exposure to above average levels of outdoor air pollution increased death risk, study shows

Along with high blood pressure, diabetes, and smoking, environmental factors such as air pollution are highly predictive of people's chances of dying, especially from heart attack and stroke, a new study shows.

Environmental chemical pollution threatens biodiversity and ecosystems

Environmental chemical pollution threatens biodiversity. However, the complexity of this pollution remains insufficiently recognized by decision-makers - this is what international researchers led by Gabriel Sigmund from the University of Vienna and Ksenia Groh from the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology (Eawag) argue in the most recent issue of "Science".
