They found that MNPs are widely present in terrestrial ecosystems. MNPs bioaccumulate across plants and the associated AG-BG biota, causing ecotoxicological effects at multiple trophic levels.

The ecosystem experiment is described as a two-chain terrestrial ecosystem containing plants and microbes.

Trophic cascades were originally thought to be rare, but now we understand that they occur across diverse terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems, and are common features of many green plant ...

A terrarium is like a tiny greenhouse: plants release water vapor, which condenses, keeping moisture inside the structure. These 15 won't outgrow the space.

Plant species can fulfill different functions within an ecosystem, even if they are closely related to each other. This surprising conclusion was reached by a global analysis of around 1.7 million ...

This film explains the difference between biotic and abiotic, terrestrial, freshwater and ocean water ecosystems and the importance weather has on the conditions of many different ecosystems.

Plant-insect interactions encompass a wide array of relationships, ranging from the beneficial (like pollination) to the detrimental (like herbivory).

A study of fossils from the Permian-Triassic extinction event 252 million years ago shows that forests in many parts of the ...

Marine Plant Partners with Microbes Like Terrestrial Plants Do A seagrass relies on symbiotic bacteria inside its roots to fix nitrogen. This is the first time scientists have demonstrated that this ...

“If that happens, the energy flow through our terrestrial ecosystems is almost totally disrupted, which means the food webs that support our vertebrate animals, our amphibians, our reptiles, our birds ...

The team named the new pterosaur species Eotephradactylus mcintireae. The generic name means ‘ash-winged dawn goddess’ and references the site’s volcanic ash and the animals’ position near the base of ...
