Research Spotlights
How Much Greenhouse Gas Do Tropical Soils Emit?
New research found that tropical soils emit nitrogen mostly as inert dinitrogen rather than as greenhouse gases.
El agua subterránea se repone mucho más rápido de lo que pensaban los científicos
Un nuevo modelo basado en el clima indica que los científicos podrían haber subestimado la importancia del agua subterránea para mantener los ríos y la vida vegetal.
What Happens to Drugs After They Leave Your Body?
It’s hard to predict with certainty how drugs break down once they enter waterways. In a new study, scientists devised a way to do just that.
Scientists Decipher the Seismic Dance of the Southern Alps
Most of the Alps are considered tectonically dead, but according to new research, the southeastern region—home to prosecco wine—is very much alive.
Jet-Propelled Tunicates Pump Carbon Through the Oceans
New research reveals that blooms of the widespread gelatinous zooplankton—along with their feces, daily vertical migrations, and carcasses—increase marine carbon export.
To Estimate Plant Water Use, Consider the Xylem
New research shows that chemical isotopes from plant xylem can improve representations of the forest water cycle.
Far-Flung Forces Caused the 2021 Pacific Northwest Heat Wave
Air from thousands of kilometers away spiraled down to drape the Pacific Northwest in blistering heat.
