Pathogens confront polar bears

In the Arctic, where the temperatures are low, polar bears adapt to that unique ecosystem, which includes a distinctive array of biodiversity capable of coping with the extreme conditions in those regions of the Earth.

Nitrogen-fixing plants are in danger

Nitrogen represents an essential nutrient element in the soil. However, it is present in limited quantities. But there are some types of plants, known as "nitrogen-fixing plants," which can enhance the nitrogen supply in the soil through a symbiotic relationship with nitrogen-fixing diazotrophic bacteria from the atmosphere.

How Human Activities Impact the Arctic

The Arctic, spanning several countries, including Canada, the United States (Alaska), Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia, and parts of Greenland, as well as the Arctic Ocean, is one of the regions most threatened by climate change. Since 1979, temperatures in the Arctic have been rising four times faster than the global average.

Climate change affects the immunity of monkeys

Preserving wildlife and its biodiversity is one of the top priorities for supporting the ecosystem and maintaining its balance. In light of climate change and the steady rise in temperatures, a research group from the University of Michigan in the United States wanted to study the impact of rising temperatures on the immunity of wild capuchin monkeys.

How do coral reefs affect fisheries?

The oldest fossil found on coral reefs indicates their existence nearly 400 million years ago, positioning them as one of the oldest living species that have endured numerous changes in the Earth's environment.

What’s Role of Microbes in Escalating Methane Emissions?

Microbes are ubiquitous, found across the Earth, in the atmosphere, and in water bodies. They play a crucial role in the cycling of elements on our planet. Although invisible to the naked eye and observable only through specialized microscopes, these tiny organisms have significant impact on our lives.

Climate Change Could Trigger More Earthquakes

Earthquakes are significant natural disasters that can cause extensive damage and loss.They consist of seismic waves that travel through the Earth's rocks, typically occurring when rock masses break and slide over one another. But can climate change contribute to the occurrence of earthquakes?

How does climate change threaten the deep sea ecosystem?

Climate change is a mysterious and ongoing threat that seeps into the depths of the oceans and seas around the world, and the Arabian Gulf region is no exception to this sad reality, but have things reached the point of catastrophe?
