Diversifying trees may help forests weather impacts of climate change
Shifts in climate and market uncertainty may hamper how effective tree-planting is as a climate-crisis solution. New Zealand researchers, with others, used modelling to explore how diversifying...
Research team highlights need for development of systems to predict marine heatwaves, which are a growing threat to marine ecosystems and industries as the climate changes. An Institute for Marine...
By uprooting carbon trapped in soil, wild pigs are releasing around 4.9 million metric tonnes of carbon dioxide annually across the globe, the equivalent of 1.1 million cars. An international team...
Plants breaking some of the ecological rules might have a higher chance of surviving climate change, according to researchers from the University of Queensland and Trinity College Dublin. Dr Annabel...
New research finds that delaying when animals are fed means they will urinate at night in colder temperatures. The cooler temperatures mean that less nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas, is produced from...
NZ winemakers may have to change their grapes in the face of climate change
