Feixue Yu, Inner Mongolia University, discusses her article: Nitrogen addition weakens drought-driven coupling between plant, arthropod, and soil nematode functional groups The concurrent increase in drought and atmospheric nitrogen deposition has profoundly impacted multitrophic biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in grasslands. Nitrogen enrichment is frequently assumed to alleviate drought stress by stimulating plant growth, but this […]

We discovered that climate change could dramatically break the natural highways that connect coral reefs across the southwestern Pacific Ocean, but one location may survive as a critical refuge. Coral reefs don’t exist in isolation. When reefs are damaged by bleaching or storms, they recover through baby corals (larvae) that drift from healthy reefs on […]

Reliable habitat maps sit at the heart of biodiversity monitoring, natural capital accounting and nature recovery planning. Recent policy developments in the UK have made this even more important. The UK Land Use Framework highlights the need for a coherent national land-use evidence base and better integration of spatial data across sectors. However, producing consistent […]

EUROCONTROL, in partnership with the European Commission, has released the third version of the Non-CO₂ Aviation Effects Tracking System (NEATS), marking a significant milestone in the monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) of aviation’s full climate impact. This now includes all required functionalities for the MRV. NEATS is a pioneering IT platform designed to support the […]

Rui Wang, Institute of Plant Protection of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, discusses their article: Asymmetric adaptation across a core–periphery climatic gradient drives rapid phenological evolution and range expansion in an invasive plant When we think about plant invasions, we often picture species spreading quickly, competing with native plants, and causing problems for ecosystems […]

Europe recorded widespread warm conditions with above-average temperatures across at least 95% of the continent, according to the 2025 European State of the Climate (ESOTC) report. The report, published today by the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) and produced by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), shows Europe is the fastest-warming continent on […]

On 20 November 2025, the Commission received a notification in the sense of Article 12(4) of Directive 2003/87/EC (‘ETS Directive’) from Germany, concerning its intention to voluntarily cancel allowances associated with the closure of electricity generation capacities in 14 ETS installations in its territory in 2024 due to additional national measures. Following a request by […]

Henrique Augusto Mews, Universidade Federal de Rondonópolis in Brazil, discusses his article: Unravelling the drivers of island species richness in tropical savannas Many landscapes contain “island-like” habitats: patches of suitable conditions surrounded by an inhospitable matrix. How species diversity is regulated in these systems remains surprisingly poorly understood. In tropical savannas, such as the Cerrado […]

Image shows an analysis of total ozone column over the Antarctic (Antarctica-centric Map). The blue colours indicate lowest ozone columns, while yellow and red indicate higher ozone columns. Ozone columns are commonly measured in Dobson Units. One Dobson Unit is the number of molecules of ozone that would be required to create a layer of […]

We are pleased to share that our partners at Brand Finance have recently published research that incorporates CSRHub ESG data. The Brand Finance Sustainability Perceptions Index 2026 uses CSRHub ESG ratings and data to support analysis of corporate sustainability performance and ESG trends across industries and regions. This collaboration demonstrates how ESG data can be […]
