India gained 2.1 million hectares of dry woodland in a decade, major study finds

India gained 2.1 million hectares of dry woodland in a decade, major study finds Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor India gained around 2.1 million hectares of tropical dry woodland between 2014 and 2024—an area larger than Wales—according to a major new study involving researchers from The University of Manchester's Global Development Institute. The research was published in the journal Environmental Research Letters. The research found that large-scale tree planting,...

Indonesia's air quality got worse after China banned plastic waste imports, research shows

Indonesia's air quality got worse after China banned plastic waste imports, research shows Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor When China banned plastic waste imports in 2018, countries like the United States, the Netherlands, Australia, and Japan didn't stop exporting plastic waste—they diverted their shipments to countries in Southeast Asia. New research led by Ellen Considine, fellow at the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) at the...

Costa Rica paid landowners to restore forests and biodiversity—bioacoustics indicate that it worked

June 4, 2026 report Costa Rica paid landowners to restore forests and biodiversity—bioacoustics indicate that it worked Krystal Kasal Author Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Forest restoration can help fight climate change and restore lost biodiversity, but the satellite-based techniques used to measure successful forest restoration have been less-than-helpful for measuring changes in biodiversity. Instead, a team of researchers listened to the sounds of life in the...

New warning system forecasts wildlife heat risk up to nine months ahead

An international group of scientists led by Josep M. Serra-Diaz, researcher at the Botanical Institute of Barcelona (IBB, CSIC-MCNB), has developed the first global early warning system capable of forecasting when and where vertebrate species will be exposed to unprecedented heat up to nine months in advance. The study, published in Nature Climate Change, demonstrates how operational climate prediction tools can be repurposed to anticipate biological risks in near-real time, providing the...

Plants boost carbon uptake through water efficiency, not heat adaptation, global analysis reveals

Plants boost carbon uptake through water efficiency, not heat adaptation, global analysis reveals Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor An international team of scientists has discovered that plants are not responding to global warming in the way researchers long assumed. Scientists have expected that ecosystems would keep pace with warming by rising the temperature at which photosynthesis works best. A new study published in One Earth is challenging that theory.

Why do rival plants coexist? The secret is in the soil beneath the oaks

Why do rival plants coexist? The secret is in the soil beneath the oaks Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Alexander Pol Deputy Editor How can plants that compete for the same resources grow in the same area without one driving the other to extinction? Ecologists have been trying to answer this question for decades, and a surprising new explanation has now emerged: the soil surrounding oak trees acts as a silent mediator that restrains the dominant species and gives an advantage to weaker ones,...
