This Remarkable Desert Plant Could Grow on Mars
The desert moss Syntrichia caninervis could be key to colonizing Mars due to its ability to survive extreme cold, radiation, and Mars-like conditions, potentially supporting…
Discover a wealth of articles related to the captivating and complex field of ecology. Ecology is the scientific study of the relationships between living organisms and their environment, including the interactions between individuals, populations, and entire ecosystems.
Ecology is often referred to as “environmental biology” or “ecosystem science,” and encompasses a wide range of topics, including biodiversity, conservation biology, climate change, and sustainability. It also involves interdisciplinary approaches, drawing from fields such as geography, sociology, and economics.
On this page, you will find the latest news and research on ecology from around the world, covering topics such as the effects of climate change on ecosystems, the conservation of endangered species, and the impacts of human activities on the environment.
