The Amazon’s worst fire season in decades is turning the rainforest into a massive carbon emitter. A new analysis from scientists at the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre shows that the Amazon rainforest has experienced its worst fire season in مزید پڑھیں
Ancient wolves found on a human-occupied Baltic island reveal unexpected and complex forms of prehistoric human-animal interaction. Researchers have uncovered wolf remains dating back thousands of years on a small and remote island in the Baltic Sea. Because the island مزید پڑھیں
Overestimated nitrogen availability has led climate models to exaggerate how much plant growth can offset rising CO2 levels. Rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are a major driver of climate change. At the same time, higher CO2 concentrations مزید پڑھیں
What looked like a mysterious exoplanet was actually the sparkling debris from a violent collision between massive space rocks. Even more astonishing, astronomers watched a second collision unfold in the same system, revealing a surprisingly chaotic neighborhood where new worlds مزید پڑھیں
