Millions of people living in poverty rely on seagrass meadows for survival, study finds

The research found that at least 18 million people living in poverty fish in seagrass meadows across the Indo-Pacific. Of these, around 6.5 million are entirely dependent on the habitat for both food and fishing-related income. The study also revealed that households living in extreme poverty were significantly more likely to rely on seagrass meadows for all their fishing activities. Seagrass-depe

Report Identifies Path to Stronger State Flood Resilience and Insurance Protections

A new report for California policymakers assesses current flood modeling practices and offers eight recommendations to improve how mitigation infrastructure is reflected in the catastrophe models that are used to set insurance prices.

New Study Demonstrates TanSat-2's Potential to Distinguish Human Carbon Emissions from Ecosystem Carbon Sinks

Satellites are becoming increasingly important to track global carbon cycle. China is preparing to launch its next-generation carbon monitoring satellite, TanSat-2, which is designed to provide global and regional observations of column-averaged carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and methane (CH 4 ). Atmospheric CO 2 observations contain signals from both human activities and carbon exchanged between atmosphe

Stronger home foundations needed to withstand climate change and cracking soils

Drier climates are exacerbating an expensive problem for millions of Australians whose homes sit on expansive soils prone to shrinkage cracks, which have already cost insurance companies and individuals billions of dollars in damage bills. A new study by Adelaide University, using computer modelling and field observations, shows that homes are more vulnerable to damage than previously thought, and climate change is expected to worsen the problem in coming years. With 20-30% of Australian surface

New Framework Helps Identify Land Degradation Hotspots in Drylands

Not every dry year means degraded land. A new framework published in Catena on August 25 can distinguish persistent degradation from short-term climate fluctuations. Land degradation remains a critical ecological challenge worldwide, undermining ecosystem services, food security, and sustainable development. The United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) has established Land Degra

Targeted Fish Removals Enhance Native Fish Diversity in Freshwater Protected Areas

Freshwater protected areas (FPAs) are widely promoted as an important conservation tool for rebuilding overexploited fish populations and protecting aquatic habitats. Yet simply banning fishing does not always guarantee ecological recovery. This is partly because non-native, stocked, and benthivorous fishes may also benefit from reduced fishing pressure. A new study suggests that targeted fish rem

Dominant Diatom Thrives via Partnership with Bacteria in China's Major Water Project

Scientists have recently found that a long‑term dominant diatom in China's South-to-North Water Diversion Project maintains its edge through a mutually reinforced cycle with bacteria , whereas a short‑term dominant species lacks such a close partnership and is far less resilient . The study, led by researchers from the Institute of Hydrobiology (IHB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was publish

“We kunnen vanuit België wel degelijk een verschil maken voor Duchenne”

Op 7 september is het World Duchenne Awareness Day. Voor Luc Vandevyvere krijgt die dag een bijzondere betekenis: honderd dagen lang fietst hij elke dag honderd kilometer voor zijn kleinzoon Stan, die Duchenne heeft. Met zijn tocht van bijna 10.000 kilometer vraagt hij aandacht voor de ziekte en zamelt hij geld in voor het VUB Duchenne Fonds . Prof. dr. Thierry VandenDriessche, die samen met prof.

Inexpensive Blue Pigment Enables Efficient One-Step Conversion of Carbon Dioxide to Methane

A common blue pigment could help turn carbon dioxide (CO₂) from an industrial waste product into a useful fuel. A joint research team led by Tohoku University's Advanced Institute for Materials Research (WPI-AIMR), in collaboration with Hokkaido University and startup AZUL Energy, has developed a catalyst that converts CO₂ directly into methane (CH₄) with high efficiency using copper phthalocyanin

Genetic Strategy Paves Way for Mechanized Goji Berry Harvesting

Goji berry ( Lycium barbarum L.) is a perennial woody cash crop valued for its nutritional and medicinal properties and of significant industrial importance. However, its typical indeterminate growth habit has become a major bottleneck to the development of the goji berry industry. This trait causes goji branches to continuously sprout, bloom, and bear fruit over time. Consequently, flowers and fr

Chimpanzees have accents too, study finds

A study has found that young chimpanzees develop distinct population-specific vocal patterns as they mature (ontogeny), challenging the long-held assumption that their calls are inflexible and determined solely by genetics.
