When you mount a plant on a sheet, you capture more than botany. A new paper reveals the unexpected historical treasures hiding in herbaria, and why closing them is a mistake.

Drought-induced tree mortality is associated with hydraulic failure and subsequent cell death. Leaf vitality is a critical indicator of tree water stress; however, current methods for assessing ce...

More than a century after two introduced pathogens killed billions of American chestnut trees, introgression of resistance alleles from Chinese chestnuts has contributed to the recovery of self-sustai...

Tropical cyclones cool the ocean surface less than previously thought, indicating that current projections may underestimate their future intensity and frequency, according to an analysis of global se...

A series of graphics reveals how the Trump administration has sought historic cuts to science and the research workforce.

The Senate voted to provide billions more to NASA, NOAA and the National Science Foundation than the president had asked for.

“This is a very significant contribution to the astronomical community."

We invite applications for a fully funded four-year PhD position at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland, with a planned start date in June 2026. The selected candidate wil...

Nature Plants - Eight decades of forest plot monitoring show a pervasive increase in tree mortality across Australia’s forest biomes driven by climate change, jeopardizing their role as...

The warming climate is killing Australia’s forest trees at a faster rate. This offers a glimpse of what may lie ahead for forests globally.

From Tasmania to the Top End, Australia's forest trees are dying at higher rates due to climate change, according to new research.

Eight decades of forest plot monitoring show a pervasive increase in tree mortality across Australia’s forest biomes driven by climate change, jeopardizing their role as enduring carbon sinks.

Leaf stomata respond to temperature even when the leaf-to-air vapor gradient is held constant, yet the mechanisms for this response are unknown, and may be mediated by increases in hydraulic conducta...

Background. Alternate stable state theory holds that disturbance thresholds can drive transitions between distinct vegetation types that exist under otherw

Position Summary The Lowry Lab at Michigan State University is searching for a postdoctoral research associate to conduct molecular and physiological experiments to understand the causes of genetic va...
