Plants, Restoration, Wetland To help address some of the uncertainty with ecological restoration, researchers have developed a model for predicting restoration performance based on genetic and geographic distance between a plant source location and the project site...
Research, Technology-GIS A visionary approach to ecological monitoring would use automated web crawlers to look at the flow of information across the Internet and detect early warning signals of impending environmental problems before they become catastrophic...
Scientists have developed a practical method for assessing the resilience of coral reefs to climate change and for prioritizing local actions to help reefs survive. Jeff Maynard and fellow scientists tested the method in Keppel Bay of the southern Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and found that it can be a useful tool for conservation planning...
Birds, Preservation A new study from South Africa touches on an interesting conservation question about whether we should place greater importance on quality or quantity when it comes to protecting habitat to conserve biodiversity...
Proponents for drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska and government regulators have generally assumed that conducting seismic activities in the winter would avoid damaging the sensitive tundra ecosystem. A new study throws this assumption into doubt...
