Isotope analyses of corals show that 60 to 80 percent of the nitrogen comes from the Mississippi River basin.

The effects of temperature on the chemical composition, volatility and diffusivity of condensable organic vapors largely cancel each other out. This effectively buffers the rate at which new aerosol p...

Comprehensive aircraft measurements reveal that methane emissions from Amazon wetlands are significantly higher than previously estimated.

New study by the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry shows: The forest chemically adapts to extreme drought – and continues responding long after the stress ends.

Jonathan Williams has been honored by the European Geosciences Union (EGU) for his pioneering work in the field of volatile organic compounds and their significance in atmospheric chemistry.

A hidden mechanism continuously forms new aerosol particles from gaseous precursors in the Amazon rainforest, challenging previous assumptions about the sources of cloud condensation nuclei and their ...

Questioning some of the ‘standard narratives’ involving biological and cultural adaptations often interpreted as prerequisites for the geographical expansion of the human niche into higher latitudes

Anthropogenic ammonia (NH3) emissions have significantly increased in recent decades due to enhanced agricultural activities, contributing to globa...

Deforestation in the Amazon rainforest is the main cause of reduced rainfall. Observations from 35 years of Amazon research show the impact of global climate change and local deforestation on the rain...

New study by the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry shows: The ratio of certain forest scent molecules provides precise insights into the stress state of the rainforest

For the first time in 40 years, the cold, nutrient-rich deep water of the Gulf of Panama did not reach the sea surface. This had a significant impact on local fisheries.

Isotope analyses of limestone cave deposits reveal recurrent humid intervals in the Saharo-Arabian Desert over the last eight million years

Unravelling the chemical processes in soot particle filters reveals new ways to produce synthetic fuels

The incorporation of meat into the diet was a milestone for the human evolutionary lineage, a potential catalyst for advances such as increased brain size. But scientists have struggled to determine when meat consumption began and who did it.

Nitrogen isotopes in tooth enamel show no evidence of meat consumption in Australopithecus.
