| Posted: 12 Nov 2021 07:05 AM PST Climate change is altering familiar conditions of the world's oceans and creating new environments that could undermine efforts to protect sea life in the world's largest marine protected areas. |
| PFAS exposure, high-fat diet drive prostate cells’ metabolism into pro-cancer state Posted: 11 Nov 2021 12:43 PM PST A high-fat diet synergizes with exposure to PFAS to change the metabolism of benign and malignant prostate cells, according to a new study in mice. |
| Coal creation mechanism uncovered Posted: 11 Nov 2021 12:42 PM PST The mechanism behind one of the first stages of coal creation may not be what we thought it was, according to a team of researchers who found that microbes were responsible for coal formation and production of methane in these areas, which has implications for methane fuel recovery from some coal fields. |
| Posted: 11 Nov 2021 10:04 AM PST A new study shows that there are species of marine animals such as fish, crustaceans and mollusks (for example, squid) that change their habitats and deepen an average of 55 meters across the climatic gradient of the Mediterranean (spanning a range of 6 degrees C). |
| New tests track sources of lead contamination in urban soils and assess its risks Posted: 10 Nov 2021 10:15 AM PST Scientists have developed a suite of isotope-based tests that can be used to identify the origin of lead contamination in urban soils and assess the risk it poses to children who inhale or ingest contaminated dirt or dust. The tests can distinguish between contamination from modern sources and contamination from pre-1970s leaded gasoline fumes or leaded paint, making them especially useful for assessing the hidden risks of legacy contamination. |
| Mangrove restoration has ecological and economic benefits Posted: 09 Nov 2021 09:03 AM PST Funding to restore mangrove forests is money well spent, according to a new meta-analysis by ecological economists. For every dollar spent to restore mangroves, the ecosystem will yield $6.83 to $10.50 in returns over the next 20 years. The range reflects different economic projections of how much immediate costs are worth compared to future benefits and reflects the significant ecological benefits that degraded habitats receive from mangrove restoration. |
| That new EV battery will be a headache to recycle: These solutions can help Posted: 09 Nov 2021 09:03 AM PST A new study identifies several keys to sustainably managing the influx of electric vehicle batteries, with an emphasis on battery chemistry, second-life applications and recycling. |
| Latin American rice breeding gets a boost from genomic tools Posted: 08 Nov 2021 01:14 PM PST How do you like your rice? Sticky, fluffy, brown, or white? These qualities, in addition to grain length, width, appearance, and other traits, are hugely important predictors of rice sales and consumption worldwide. And region matters. Rice preferences in Latin America, for example, are very different from those in West Africa, Japan, India, and elsewhere. |
