As new research emerges, we learn mangrove forests have an essential role in storing carbon. Apparently, species diversity in mangrove forests boosts soil carbon storage and biomass production. Such a discovery highlights the inability of preserving biodiversity as a nature-based ...

The sea levels are still rising, and previous predictions were right. Such a statement came after scientists rigorously verified the early 21st-century climate modelling projections. According to these findings, the sea levels in the coming decades will continue to rise ...

We usually link food contamination to bacteria on unwashed vegetables or fruits, or uncooked meat. Unfortunately, there are more ways for dangerous contaminants to exist in food.  A researcher examined food contamination originating from the soil where the plants grow. ...

Soil health is as significant as water or air quality. There are approximately 50,000 species of micro-organism/gram of soil, and we shouldn’t ignore this. Any addition of certain microbes can shape the soil traits, such as boosting fertility, turning barren ...

Global ice is disappearing at an alarming rate, and it seems we can’t stop it. New research brings awareness about this phenomenon, unveiling some shocking facts. Our planet has suffered a loss of 28 trillion tonnes of ice in a ...

Microplastics represent a threat to oceans, and it has been proved how much danger can cause to aquatic organisms and humans. A new technique aims to fight that by eliminating one of the biggest contributors: the microfibers from our clothes. ...

Soon, climate change will bring a regionally rough shifting of the tropical belt, threatening food security for billions of people.  New research discusses how the affected rain belt will move north in parts of the Eastern Hemisphere and south in ...

The North Pole experiences every winter some cold wind periods. Such a weather pattern is scarier than we can imagine. At least, that’s what worries the scientists. Any changes could indicate if Europe is in for severe cold treatment. Currently, ...
