The Global Litter Invertebrate Decomposition Experiment (GLIDE) aims to advance understanding of soil and litter fauna's distribution, diversity, and importance in ecosystem processes. The study will provide unprecedented data on the animals involved in litter decomposition across different biomes and latitudes.
The project aims to improve and conserve local, traditional crops being overlooked by major international research programs. Farmers will be actively involved in selecting and multiplying varieties of neglected crops, with new technologies for better cultivation and use.
Preliminary findings from a deep-sea expedition have uncovered a vast array of new species in the Atlantic Ocean's abyssal plains. The discovery, part of the DIVA project, confirms the diversity of deep-sea life and reveals significant differences in sediment structure and fauna composition across different sites.
