Research Article Proposes New Method to Quantify Degradation Processes Associated with Manure Management

The EU Commision requires Denmark to reduce drastically emissions of greenhouse gases from agriculture. But it is currently not possible to quantify emissions of methane from livestock manure - and to document effects of changes in management.

International Study Reveals Earliest Land Plants are Responsible for Earth’s Oxygen-Rich Atmosphere

The evolution of the first land plants including mosses may explain a long-standing mystery of how Earth’s atmosphere became enriched with oxygen, according to an international study led by the University of Exeter.

Oil Spills Affect Haddock Eggs, Cause Deformities

An international team of scientists have discovered that Atlantic haddock can suffer extreme and often deadly deformities during the development stages if their eggs are exposed to even small amounts of dispersed crude oil.

Study Reveals Community Diversity Influences Plant’s Response to Carbon Dioxide Levels

A recent study published in Nature Communications has stated that plants that have reached a stage of evolution wherein they can withstand high levels of carbon dioxide do not grow effectively when they are moved to other plant community with different environmental conditions.

Researchers Use E.coli to Engineer Improved Biofuels

Although E. coli bacteria is most of the times considered as a bad bug, laboratory-adapted E. coli that do not harm human beings, at the same time can multiply fast, have been commonly used for various research purposes.

Scientists Use North Atlantic Oscillation as Predictive Tool to Manage Iconic Fishery

In recent decades, the plight of Atlantic cod off the coast of New England has been front-page news. Since the 1980s in particular, the once-seemingly inexhaustible stocks of Gadus morhua — one of the most important fisheries in North America — have declined dramatically.

Oceanographers Culture and Sequence Microb's Genome that Contributes to Climate Change

Sea turtles and whales may be the charismatic critters of the sea, but the true kingpins of the ocean make up 98 percent of the ocean’s biomass — and yet individually are too small to see with the naked eye.

Mass Mortality of Sea Stars in Howe Sound Causes Domino Effect on Marine Ecology

A new study by Simon Fraser University marine ecologists Jessica Schultz, Ryan Cloutier and Isabelle Côté has discovered that a mass mortality of sea stars resulted in a domino effect on B.C.'s West Coast Howe Sound marine ecology.

Increased Levels of CO2 Observed in the Southern Hemisphere

The atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) measured at Amsterdam Island, in the southern Indian Ocean, was found to exceed the symbolic value of 400 ppm1, or 0.04% in May this year.

Researchers Develop New Quantitative Tool that Could Help Save Coral from Extinction

Northwestern Engineering researchers have developed a quantitative tool that might help bring back coral from the brink of extinction. The novel algorithm could help assess and predict the future of coral bleaching events by better understanding the coral’s symbiotic partner: algae.
