California officials sent water flowing to create new wetlands along the shores of the shrinking Salton Sea. The project is intended to control dust and provide habitat for birds.

Abstract. In recognition of the importance of inland waters, numerous datasets mapping their extents, types, or changes have been created using sources ranging from historical wetland maps to real-tim...

Peatlands are one of the world’s biggest carbon sinks. These naturally waterlogged boggy swamps can hold thousands of years’ worth of compressed, partially decomposed vegetation matter — despite…

A new point in history has been reached, entomologists say, as climate-led species’ collapse moves up the food chain even in supposedly protected regions free of pesticides

As trees choked by saltwater die along low-lying coasts, marshes may move in — for better or worse, scientists are learning

President Trump and Elon Musk want to dismantle the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). That would eliminate free public access to weather forecasts, hurricane tracking, wildfire a...

Uncertain funding, government firings, and distressed universities hit vulnerable groups especially hard

To combat climate change, researchers argue that inundated forests could be turned into marshland carbon sinks.

Firings at the NSF included permanent employees who had already completed their one-year probationary period, as well as at-will workers.

Research lab groups are hotspots for the education of the next generation of scientists, and making these units work as creatively as possible is essential for solving pressing issues in biology, the ...

Bogs and swamps are a colossal carbon store but their continued destruction would blow climate change targets

We speak to Marcelo Ardón and colleagues about their recent PLOS Climate publication, “Coastal carbon sentinels: A decade of forest change along the eastern shore of the…

I'm not telling you how to think or feel, but maybe letting you know where I'm at might be useful.

Extreme heat is increasing in magnitude and frequency, threatening human health. This Review assesses mortality risk associated with extreme heat, revealing that human thermal tolerances (that is, unc...

Constructed wetlands do a good job in their early years of capturing carbon in the environment that contributes to climate change—but that ability does diminish with time as the wetlands mature, a new...

The AMOC is crucial for the global ocean overturning circulation and controls the climate around the North Atlantic. Here, the authors use 24 Earth System Models from the CMIP6 to demonstrate tha...

Chapter 2 of the Fifth National Climate Assessment

Increased frequency and intensity of storms, sea level rise, and warming temperatures are affecting forests along the eastern coast of the United States. However, we lack a clear understanding of how ...

Using a backward-particle-tracking simulation across the contiguous United States, this study quantifies the distance and depth of the groundwater entering a stream and highlights the strong connectio...

Special rapporteur Elisa Morgera criticizes ‘ineffective’ status quo and says focus must be on ‘deep, systemic inequalities’

Global heating is supercharging storms, floods and droughts, affecting entire ecosystems and billions of people The climate crisis is “wreaking havoc” on the planet’s water cycle, with ferocious floods and crippling droughts affecting billions of people,…

Many freshwater forested wetlands along the southeastern United States coastline are rapidly transitioning from forest to marsh or open water, due to climate change-related disturbances. Recent studie...

The last stand of Key Largo cactus in all of Florida has been lost to sea level rise. As the world inevitably warms, what's next?

The Journal of Cellular Physiology examines eukaryotic cell biology and physiology, focusing on articles that investigate cell structure and function.

Stop obsessing over your environmental “sins.” Fight the oil and gas industry instead.
