It is estimated that 1.845 billion billion metric tons of carbon are settled in mantle and crust, while only 43,500 billion tons can be found on the surface.
The capability of large grazing mammals such as deer to confidently navigate the state of Wyoming during their seasonal migrations has puzzled naturalists and scientists.
Researchers have discovered that structurally diverse forests are better at carbon sequestration that monocultures.
In 2018, a large bloom of seaweed (Sargassum) formed a belt that extended for 8,850 kilometers – from the west coast of Africa into the Gulf of Mexico – weighting at least 20 million tons.
Declassified Cold War-era spy satellite photographs have shown how much the melting of hundreds of Himalayan glaciers has accelerated in recent decades.
Recently published research looked at the question of, “Instead of looking at how drought affects the forest, how might this go the other way around?”
How is the proliferation of hydro power plants (HPPs) changing Balkan peninsula’s landscapes?
Across the Nares Strait, between Greenland and Ellesmere Island, lies a horizontal ice arch.
Researchers have tested honey from six Vancouver neighborhoods from varying districts (urban, industrial, residential and agricultural) for levels of lead, copper, zinc, and other pollutants.
Both reforestation and afforestation represent a conversion of non-forested areas into new forests. So what’s the difference between the two terms?
Reforestation and afforestation have a long tradition in Iceland, but the results are barely noticeable – only a tiny fraction of the land is now covered in forests.
