Their study, published in the journal NPJ Biofilms and Microbiomes, paves the way for the development of inoculants that can be used in agriculture. Their study, published in the journal NPJ Biofilms and Microbiomes, paves the way for the development of inoculants that can be used in agriculture. “We selected three bacteria from a group we had isolated in a previous study that showed the greatest potential to improve plant growth and exert an antagonistic effect against the pathogen. [...]

The study published in Science helps us understand the role of this little-studied type of vegetation in climate change. The study published in Science helps us understand the role of this little-studied type of vegetation in climate change. One percent of the tallest trees store more than half of the carbon in tropical forest ecosystems. The giant trees of tropical forests are important allies in the fight against climate change due to their ability to store carbon, yet they are still [...]

In many fish species, water temperature determines the sex of the fry. In many fish species, water temperature determines the sex of the fry. This biological mechanism threatens to wipe out entire populations due to a shortage of females in the face of global warming. However, an international study conducted in Spain, France, and Brazil found that this well-known masculinization effect can be offset over generations. In a ten-year experiment involving more than 3,000 European seabass [...]

According to two recently published studies led by scientists from Brazil's National Institute for Space Research (INPE), the Brazilian Amazon is already beginning to experience scenarios previously projected for the coming decades, including longer dry seasons and changes in rainfall patterns.

Even after fires, severe droughts, and windstorms, the vegetation in degraded Amazonian forests demonstrates a high capacity for regeneration, including tree species. Even after fires, severe droughts, and windstorms, the vegetation in degraded Amazonian forests demonstrates a high capacity for regeneration, including tree species. However, recovery occurs under new ecological conditions, resulting in a loss of diversity and increased vulnerability to new disturbances. On April 20, [...]

A research team led by Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have presented a new way to produce hydrogen gas without the scarce and expensive metal platinum.  A research team led by Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have presented a new way to produce hydrogen gas without the scarce and expensive metal platinum. Using sunlight, water and tiny particles of electrically conductive plastic, the researchers show how the hydrogen can be produced efficiently, sustainably and at low [...]

Beaches around the world are undergoing a process known as “coastal squeeze” due to a combination of rising sea levels caused by climate change and urbanization in coastal areas.  Beaches around the world are undergoing a process known as “coastal squeeze” due to a combination of rising sea levels caused by climate change and urbanization in coastal areas. This phenomenon not only profoundly affects the biodiversity living on the sand, but it also harms activities such as fishing [...]

A study conducted at the University of São Paulo (USP) by researchers from the Nucleus of Analysis and Synthesis of Nature-Based Solutions (BIOTA Synthesis), a FAPESP Science Center for Development (SCD), identified approximately 410,000 hectares in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, with potential for forest restoration in urban fringe areas. These peripheral areas of urban centers are characterized by diverse land uses, such as residential neighborhoods, agricultural land, [...]

With a pioneering, comprehensive approach on a global scale, Brazilian researchers have developed a methodology that allows them to project the physiological responses of herds of different production animal species to the impacts of climate change between 2050 and 2100.
