From the warmth of termites hastening wood decomposition to the surprising chill of fungi, our understanding of nature's temperature regulation gets a shake-up.

Researchers found that plant species with certain traits, like longer bloom periods and efficient resource utilisation, are more likely to successfully thrive in foreign environments.

Research found that combining native prairie plants and Sedum species on green roofs enhances stormwater capture, cooling, and thermal insulation compared to using Sedum alone.

Giant tortoises reintroduced to Galapagos' Española Island are engineering the ecosystem by reducing trees, aiding cactus regeneration, and creating nesting grounds for the waved albatross.

Research shows Bishop Pines take just eight years to bounce back after fire by producing abundant viable seeds in their treetop cones.

Plants are resilient, but even they are struggling with the increasing presence of microplastics.

Good intentions in ecological restoration can sometimes result in the unintentional spread of plant diseases due to neglected risk assessments and biosecurity measures.

Alpine plants, according to a recent study, are more at risk from prolonged heatwaves than previously thought, as extended heat exposure lowers the temperature at which critical damage occurs.

The exotic Bombax ceiba tree emerges as an unlikely champion for urban biodiversity in Brazil, supporting numerous bird species and strengthening the human-nature connection.

An investigation into urban meadows illuminates their importance in harbouring diverse pollinator communities, underscoring the need to maintain and improve these green spaces for the health of our urban ecosystems.

As climate change narrows seagrass habitats, a surprising twist emerges - the rise of unique species, challenging our understanding of biodiversity and conservation strategies.

Southern France's flora is on the move, with vegetation at lower altitudes reacting more rapidly to warming trends and shifts in water balance.
