Extreme fire seasons in recent years highlight the urgent need to better understand wildfires within the broader context of ...

Yellowstone Caldera Chronicles is a weekly column written by scientists and collaborators of the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory. This week's contribution is from Cathy Whitlock, Regents Professor ...

Global warming is producing a rapid loss of plant species—according to estimates, roughly 600 plant species have died out ...

Climate scientists present a realistic supercomputer simulation that resolves the complex interactions between fire, vegetation, smoke and the atmosphere. The authors find that increasing greenhouse ...

Plants survive climate change using genetic variations. Scientists studied Marchantia polymorpha to find key adaptation ...

As you can see from the climate graph, plants and animals in the desert have to cope with very little water. The climate is very hot. Summer day time temperatures can exceed 40°C. However ...

Climate zones are regions with similar long-term patterns ... on a world map and look for connections between climate and vegetation belts, such as for example finding out where the world ...

Understanding how plants adapt to different environments is crucial for addressing climate change. A new study by the groups of Liam Dolan and Frédéric Berger at the Gregor Mendel Institute (GMI) of ...

A new climate modeling study presents a new scenario of how climate and life on our planet would change in response to a potential future strike of a medium-sized (~500 m) asteroid.

In a new quick-turn analysis, UCLA climate scientists found that climate change could be responsible for roughly a quarter of the extreme vegetation dryness present when the Palisades and Eaton fires ...
