What do the Gulf of Mexico's "dead zone," global climate change and acid rain have in common? They're all a result of human impacts to Earth's biology, chemistry and geology, and the natural cycles ...

Soil erosion is widely known for degrading land and reducing agricultural productivity. But new research shows it may also ...

Scientists are currently meeting at the 94th annual Ecological Society of America (ESA) symposium in New Mexico to discuss, among other topics, the massive upset of the natural biogeochemical cycles ...

If society wants to address big picture environmental problems, like global climate change, acid rain, and coastal dead zones, we need to pay closer attention to the Earth's coupled biogeochemical ...

The Biogeochemical Cycles can be defined as the cyclic movement of chemical elements of biosphere between the organism and the environment. The term ‘Biogeochemical’ is a combination two words- Bio ...

We all know Earth is special, but we may not fully appreciate how good we have it on this planet. Unlike its planetary neighbors, Earth has remained habitable for billions of years thanks to a ...
