Although all ecosystems are affected by a changing climate, the impacts can take a while to appear. Changes in forest biodiversity, for example, are known to lag behind changes in a habitat's ...

Environmental Studies Professor Karen Holl, a coauthor of the new paper, sits in a restored grassland at Younger Lagoon Reserve. The research team believes their findings will provide key insights for ...

CU Boulder Ecology and Evolutionary Biology scientist Katharine Suding is leading ongoing research in partnership with City of Boulder Open Space At first glance, grasslands may not display an obvious ...

In a study published in One Earth on July 5, a research team led by Prof. Deng Ye from the Research Center for Eco-Environmental Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences proposed the ...

While ecosystems like forests are seeing slow shifts in biodiversity due to climate change, the biological makeup of grasslands are changing rapidly, according to a recent study published by the ...

Agriculture is widely known to be the biggest driver of forest destruction globally, especially in sprawling, high-profile ecosystems like the Amazon rainforest. But new research published this week ...

John Steinbeck once described the corridor between Monterey and Salinas as the “pastures of heaven” for the grasslands flowering with blazing orange California poppies and other local species. But his ...

Homes built in areas with grasslands and shrublands face a greater risk of fire as development expands and the effects of climate change intensify. However, a new report published Thursday finds that ...

Learn how planting native grassland plants mimics historical landscapes and stores carbon. Grasslands are a surprising part of the North Carolina Piedmont’s ecological history. Learn how planting ...

Grasslands go by many different names and are made up of two main types: tropical — also known as savannas — and temperate. The two types appear similar, but have different kinds of soil and are ...

Grasslands are responding to climate change almost in real time, according to new research. Although all ecosystems are affected by a changing climate, the impacts can take a while to appear. Changes ...

Grassland ecosystems, like that of the Carrizo Plain National Monument in California, are seeing their biodiversity shift rapidly with changing climate. Although all ecosystems are affected by a ...
