By reversing a takeover by non-native species, native species have a chance at recovery in their natural habitats, according to a new study led by scientists from the University of California, Davis (UC Davis). The study, published in the journal Biological Conservation, explored how removing invasive bullfrogs could affect the native western pond turtles, which […]
Extremely low river levels in the UK recently have experts concerned about an impending drought. The UK is also experiencing its driest spring since 1961, as BBC News reported. According to data from the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH), the UK received just 43% of the average rainfall in March, and some rivers […]
European countries dismantled a record 542 dams, culverts, weirs and sluices that had been blocking rivers in 2024 — up 11 percent from the previous year — according to a new report from Dam Removal Europe. Last year 23 countries in Europe removed a river barrier, and for four of them — Croatia, Turkey, Bosnia […]
For the first time, a surge in China’s renewable energy output has led to a drop in the country’s carbon emissions, despite rapidly increasing power demand. The emissions decline marks a major milestone in China’s energy transition, according to an analysis by Lauri Myllivirta, lead analyst and co-founder of the Center for Research on Energy […]
The world’s seagrass meadows capture and store enormous amounts of carbon, but they must be protected if the incredible work they do for our climate is to continue. A new global study predicts that protecting seagrass meadows that are “at-risk” could avert climate damages of more than $200 billion by stopping the release of over […]
In a “profound shift,” a new analysis by nonprofit think tank InfluenceMap has found that companies in the European Union increasingly support climate action, a change analysts said challenges the narrative of businesses viewing green regulations as a threat to their profits. The report — European Industry and the EU’s Climate Policy 2024–29 — found […]
Scientists have now comprehensively mapped peatlands in England, and their work has revealed that 80% of the country’s peatlands and peat soils have become dry or degraded. Using a combination of satellite imagery and AI technology along with data analysis of existing and new field data, scientists developed a map of peaty soils known as […]
As the world works to stop global heating by ending the use of fossil fuels in accordance with climate objectives, ensuring that everyone on Earth has a decent standard of living is possible if the world quickly and decisively implements emissions reductions, new research has found. The study, led by research scholar Jarmo Kikstra with […]
In a new study, researchers determined that 2%, or 104 amphibian species out of 5,203 species studied, are already experiencing overheating events in their natural habitats. The researchers considered different microhabitats of amphibians, including terrestrial, arboreal and aquatic and compared heat tolerance limits of the animals to the actual daily temperature patterns from the past […]
