Forests, Nitrogen, and Carbon Storage

Young tropical forests could be holding back our fight against climate change—because they’re starving for nitrogen. Researchers have discovered that nitrogen addition could boost biomass accumulation by nearly 50% in young forests. Nutrient shortage sounds vague, but think of it like baking a cake. Without the right ingredients, even a brilliant baker can’t whip up […]

A 400-Year-Old Shark Still Has Working Eyes

For decades, scientists assumed the Greenland shark was almost blind.The new data say the opposite: its eyes still work—and they may hold clues to how tissues survive for centuries. The Greenland shark lives where sunlight barely reaches. It moves slowly through Arctic waters, often with parasites clinging to its eyes. Some individuals alive today may […]

How Collaboration Turns Research into Real Decisions

Most research doesn’t fail because the data are wrong—it fails because no one knows how to use it. A new study of environmental projects across the United States shows that relationships, not models, are often the difference between science that sits on a shelf and science that changes lives. That insight comes from a rare […]

Bear Baiting Can Backfire on People and Wildlife

Every year, people are told never to feed wild animals. But in some places, we do it on purpose. A new study shows that this contradiction may be quietly increasing risks for both humans and bears. In parts of North America, especially Alaska, hunters are legally allowed to use large piles of food to attract […]

Melting Ice in Greenland: The Conesequences

A staggering 454 million metric tons of sediment from Greenland’s icebergs are released into the ocean each year. What does this mean for our changing world? Picture icebergs, majestic and silent, drifting slowly through the fjords of Greenland. These icy giants are more than just frozen water; they are crucial players in Earth’s climate narrative. […]

The Unraveling of Climate Models: Why CO2 and Nitrogen Mismatches Matter

The relationship between carbon dioxide (CO2) levels and plant growth has long been heralded as a key element in climate modeling. However, recent research reveals that this relationship is not as straightforward as previously thought due to the crucial role of nitrogen in ecosystem dynamics. Climate models that overestimate the availability of natural nitrogen fixation […]

Unpacking the Unresolved Debates in Climate Intervention Research

Over the past decade, as the pace of climate change has intensified, a parallel debate in the scientific community has emerged over climate intervention—or geoengineering—research. While there is agreement on the urgency of addressing global warming, many scientists are split on whether—or how—such interventions should be part of our climate toolkit. One major unresolved debate […]
