Integrating restoration and conservation within the ecosystem approach
The Society for Ecological Restoration International (SER) released its May 2008 Briefing Note on the "Opportunities for Integrating Ecological Restoration & Biological Conservation within the Ecosystem Approach" at the Convention on Biological Diversity's Ninth Conference of the Parties held in Bonn, Germany, May 19-30, 2008. view more (2008-05-19)
Ecological restoration as a tool for reversing ecosystem fragmentation
Ecosystem fragmentation, along with many other global trends, is causing the natural world to undergo profound changes at all spatial scales from the micro-habitat to the continental. view more (2008-10-09)
New national survey says public reveres bison
Americans are woefully out of touch with the fact that the American bison, or buffalo, is in trouble as a wild, iconic species, but they do love them as an important symbol of their country-and as an entrée on the dinner table. view more (2008-11-19)
Bison can thrive again, study says
Bison can repopulate large areas from Alaska to Mexico over the next 100 years provided a series of conservation and restoration measures are taken, according to continental assessment of this iconic species by the Wildlife Conservation Society and other groups. view more (2008-04-30)
'Doing Away With Restoration Subsidies is Short Sighted'
Doing away with so called 'kanjersubsidies' for the restoration of important monuments such as the St-Jan's Cathedral in Den Bosch would be short sighted. That is the opinion of Prof.Ir. Rob van Hees, who will give an inaugural speech for his chair in the field of Conservation Techniques at the Faculty of Architecture at TU Deft, on Friday 19... view more... (2004-11-17)
New research offers prioritization plan for reducing nutrient pollution in feeder streams
To help resource managers improve the health of coastal waters degraded by nutrient pollution, a group of scientists has developed a framework for prioritizing stream restoration efforts aimed at reducing the amount of nitrogen flowing downstream. view more (2008-02-12)
LSU researchers publish commentary on delta preservation with coastal science experts
The Mississippi River delta region is of huge economic importance to the nation. As a "working coast," much of the South's major industries - particularly seafood and petroleum - are largely dependent on the health of the delta and its surrounding areas. After the 2005 hurricane season, however, experts are voicing growing concerns over... view more... (2007-03-23)
Research studies techniques for conservation and restoration of color photographs
The conservation and restoration of photographs is a topic that, in general, has not been very much researched. For example, in the case of coloured or illuminated photographs, there does not currently exist an appropriate methodology, given that it there is not sufficient information about their material characteristics and structure. view more (2009-11-06)
Research ties tree mortality trends to climate warming
Global warming is speeding up the mortality of trees, and NAU research is providing some of the data to prove it. view more (2009-01-26)
The Bay Is His Oyster: Ray Grizzle Is Restoring Oyster Reefs To NH's Great Bay
In the past decade, the oyster population in New Hampshire's Great Bay estuary has plummeted by 90 percent, due to the 1995 arrival of the oyster disease MSX. view more (2006-05-12)
Symbiotic fungi promote invasion into diverse plant communities (Rudgers et al.)
Populations of several European passerines that winter south of the Sahara have undergone a marked decline. The causes of negative population trends are largely unknown, but ecological conditions during winter in Africa may have carry-over effects during northward spring migration and reproduction. In the January issue of Ecology Letters, Saino,... view more... (2003-12-10)
Fire, ice, and invasion
The November 2007 Special Issue of Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment focuses on paleoecology, which uses fossilized remains and soil and sediment cores to reconstruct past ecosystems. view more (2007-11-15)

New EU regulations lead to increased risk of cannibalism in hens
A hen has a hard time surviving on feed containing 100% environmentally certified ingredients, as the EU proposes to require as of the summer of 2005. Hens would not take in enough of the vital amino acid metionin, which would increase the risk of feather pecking and cannibalism, according to a new study by the Swedish University of Agricultural... view more...

Will open access close the door on ecological publishing?
The British Ecological Society could cease to exist within three years if income from its four journals stopped suddenly. Speaking in a major debate on open access scientific publishing at this year's British Ecological Society Annual Meeting, being held at Lancaster University on 7-9 September 2004, Dr Jill Lancaster of the University of... view more...

UMCES-led research team quantifies nutrient pollution reductions from urban stream restoration
A team of researchers led by University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science researcher Dr. Sujay Kaushal has been among the first able to quantify the amount of excess nitrogen removed from an urban stream during environmental restoration projects. view more (2008-05-01)
Ecological communities suffer dramatic changes when non-native species are introduced by humans!
Ecological communities suffer dramatic changes when non-native species are introduced by humans. Such introductions have been documented in hundreds of locations and appear to be common in marine and island habitats. One of the best-studied cases of a species that suddenly appeared in the New England intertidal, and subsequently spread rapidly... view more... (2002-07-11)
The ecological carton for 2005
ISURPAK has announced that it will have the first packaging machine for its ecological carton by the middle of 2005. The first prototype is to be developed by a consortium in which the engineering group IDOM is participating. This first machine will be able to fill 25 packs per minute - particularly suitable for small- and medium-sized production... view more... (2004-09-08)
The Mediterranean connection: ecological effects of El Ni'ħo in the Northern hemisphere
The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and the El Ni'ħo/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) are being increasingly acknowledged as major climatic sources of ecological variability. However, studies linking ecological processes to those oscillations have been conducted in geographic regions close to their centers of action, so their effects outside these... view more...
