The risk of H5 bird flu affecting Australian wildlife such as freshwater ducks, geese and black swans has increased with the confirmation of the deadly avian influenza found in a non-migratory bird in...

The bacterial-to-fungal richness ratio serves as a unified, scalable indicator of microbial balance, soil health and ecological susceptibility, derived from spatial analysis, deep autoencoders, and st...

Abstract. Soil carbon sequestration refers to the process of capturing atmospheric carbon through plant photosynthesis and storing it in soil as organic carbon. The primary mechanism for carbon seques...

A long-awaited draft plan aimed at protecting one of Western Australia's largest rivers has been released for public consultation, but traditional owners, environmental groups and pastoralists say key...

Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum, L.) stored significantly more carbon in root biomass than shallow-rooted crops at 12 sites across the USA Switchgrass had no detectable effect on soil organic carbo...

Rapid and scalable methods for characterising soil elements are needed to understand soil conditions. Handheld Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) enables simultaneous multi-element analysis,...

Abstract. Soil underpins the functioning of all terrestrial ecosystems and human societies, yet its accelerating degradation demands urgent action. Sustainable soil management is essential to prevent ...

A global analysis of marine fish populations involving 243 recruitment and 266 spawner time series across 143 species finds that nonlinear dynamics are widespread and that the degree of nonlinearity i...
