The Communication on Industrial carbon management, adopted today, sets out a set of comprehensive actions to enable carbon capture to play its part in this process. Underpinning the Communication, a new JRC study sheds light on the key role that CO2 transport infrastructure can play in the successful large-scale deployment of industrial carbon management technologies. […]

Noa Rigoudy and co-authors talk us through their latest work, highlighting how behavioural adjustment may buffer the consequences of the reduction in natural habitats that accompanies intensification of agricultural production. This has implications for understanding how agricultural practices shape the food-safety trade-off of wildlife living in these highly modified landscapes. Wildlife in agroecosystems The life […]

This blog post on ‘Movement of elements in ecosystems’ is part of the BES ‘Key Concepts in Ecology’ series, designed to help ecologists in learning the key topics in ecology!

Jacob Long/Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Scientists have now confirmed a breakthrough in laser fusion technology achieved that produced more energy than it consumed, at the NIF in 2022. Researchers have now evaluated the details that they had of the 2022 laser-powered fusion reaction generating more energy than it consumed. This milestone was reached on December 5, […]

The greenhouse was filled with small tree seedlings during the experiment. Photo credit: Anna Görlich Most trees die as seedlings When we think about tree mortality, we tend to think about large trees falling in a storm or burning down in a forest fire. Nevertheless, most trees die as small seedlings, often just weeks or […]

Author Nancy Burrell highlights the importance of accurate carbon accounting and describes her team’s latest research into the accuracy of current methods for measuring carbon in scrublands. Traditional methods like the i-Tree Eco model, effective in urban and forestry settings for estimating carbon storage in trees, are based on the growth patterns of plantation trees […]

Rémi Bardou discusses his article: ‘Effects of cold water and aridity on Baja California mangrove survival and ecophysiological traits.’ Mangroves in Las Animas, Baja California. Introduction Mangroves are extraordinary trees, prospering at the intersection of land and sea. These trees are pivotal in coastal ecosystems, supporting marine life and biodiversity. They also serve as natural […]
