How underground fungi could make crops more nutritious—and attract bees
Scientists uncover the role of soil fungi in improving crop yields and balancing complex plant-pollinator interactions.
Can coral evolution keep pace with climate change?
Scientists explore how corals could adapt to climate change to survive, but stress that cutting emissions is crucial for their future.
Scientists identify the driver behind a mysterious particle cloud over the Amazon
A molecule emitted by rainforest plants plays a key role in forming mysterious aerosol particles in the region’s upper troposphere.
New plastic material fully degrades in the ocean
A new material designed to dissolve only in salt water could help us prevent the accumulation of microplastics in the seas.
Honey bees boost crop pollination, but at a cost to wild bees
Honey bees compete with wild bees for resources in croplands, but nutritious wildflower plantings can mitigate these effects.
