Overfishing puts Southern California kelp forest ecosystems at risk, report scientists
Kelp forest ecosystems that span the West Coast -- from Alaska to Mexico's Baja Peninsula -- are at greater risk from overfishing than from the effects of run-off from fertilizers or sewage on the shore. view more (2006-05-26)
EC funds new wave of TSE-related research projects and extends Inventory of TSE research to Eastern and Central European countries
Following an invitation to scientists to submit their proposals for research projects on Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSE), 15 research projects on BSE and related encephalopathies have been short-listed for funding with a European Commission contribution of EUR21.5 million. This additional funding brings the total sum provided by... view more... (2002-04-10)
Fragmentation rapidly erodes Amazonian biodiversity
An international research team has discovered that forest fragmentation poses an even greater threat to Amazonian biodiversity than previously thought. view more (2006-11-28)
MIT team describes unique cloud forest
Trees that live in an odd desert forest in Oman have found an unusual way to water themselves by extracting moisture from low-lying clouds, MIT scientists report. view more (2006-09-15)
Parasites a key to the decline of red colobus monkeys in forest fragments
Forest fragmentation threatens biodiversity, often causing declines or local extinctions in a majority of species while enhancing the prospects of a few. view more (2007-10-25)
Southern Research Station-USDA Forest Service
Two new research studies document dramatic changes in the ownership of Southern forestland and declining markets for its forest products. view more (2005-12-12)
Rainforest conservation worth the cost, University of Alberta shows
The economic benefits of protecting a rainforest reserve outweigh the costs of preserving it, says University of Alberta research-the first of its kind to have conducted a cost-benefit analysis on the conservation of species diversity. view more (2005-11-01)
Large size crucial for Amazon forest reserves
An international research team has discovered that the size of Amazon forest reserves is yet more important than previously thought. view more (2007-01-12)
Time of day matters to thirsty trees, U of T researcher discovers
The time of day matters to forest trees dealing with drought, according to a new paper produced by a research team led by Professor Malcolm Campbell, University of Toronto Scarborough's vice-principal for research and colleagues in the department of cell and systems biology at the St. George campus. view more (2009-11-24)
Wildfires result in loss of forests reserved by Northwest Forest Plan
Although the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) significantly reduced cutting of old-growth forests on federal land, forests in the driest regions are now at greater risk of being lost to wildfire than to logging. view more (2008-11-07)
Transponders keep track of inventory
Clothes make the man, but they also create work. Each consignment has to be recorded on arrival at the warehouse, and again after shipment to one of retail outlets. When the job involves thousands of garments, it can become a real labor of Sisyphus - especially when the time comes round for the next general inventory. Each item of clothing has to... view more...

Farmed salmon could become an invasive species in forest streams
Ever since the Norwegians expanded commercial farming of salmon in the 1960s, the industry has continued to rapidly grow worldwide. view more (2007-03-09)
Nanoscopic screening process to speed drug discovery
Researchers at Wake Forest University are using nanotechnology to search for new cancer-fighting drugs through a process that could be up to 10,000 times faster than current methods. view more (2008-10-07)
Coffee cultivation good for diversity in agrarian settlements but not in forests
Coffee shrubs, both in themselves and because they are most often cultivated in the shade of large trees, can have a positive impact on plant and animal diversity in those parts of the landscape that are deforested and dominated by agriculture. view more (2009-02-19)
The prolific orphan trees in the Cameroon forests
The Ntumu (the Beti-Fang), live in the equatorial forest in southern Cameroon, in the north of Gabon and of Equatorial Guinea. They practice a semi-nomadic slash-and-burn form of agriculture. Their farming is highly diversified, mainly of food crops (such as cassava, plantain banana, sweet potato, yam and taro) but they also produce cash crops... view more... (2003-04-29)
Primary rain forest is irreplaceable
As world leaders prepare to discuss conservation-friendly carbon credits in Bali and a regional initiative threatens a new wave of deforestation in the South American tropics, new research from the University of East Anglia and Brazil's Goeldi Museum highlights once again the irreplaceable importance of primary rain forest. view more (2007-11-15)
