A study led by Associate Professor Kelton McMahon at University of Rhode Island's Graduate School of Oceanography has found that food webs on tropical reefs are more fragile than we once thought. Instead of being part of ...
Golden oyster mushrooms, with their sunny yellow caps and nutty flavor, have become wildly popular for being healthy, delicious and easy to grow at home from mushroom kits.
A new study by an international team of researchers has revealed the huge role Indian Ocean fisheries play in feeding the world and supporting nutritional security.
A charcoal-like material made from leaves and branches that collect on forest floors could be a cheap, sustainable way to keep pollution from washing off roadways and into Georgia's lakes and rivers.
New preliminary research suggests that a combination of higher atmospheric CO2 and hotter temperatures contribute to a reduction in nutritional quality in food crops, with serious implications for human health and well-being.
Developing countries pay less for the nutrition in seafood imports than developed countries, largely because developed countries pay a premium for non-nutritional attributes such as convenience, according to an economic analysis ...
Wheat contains many valuable nutrients—and can help to make a diet with bread even healthier. However, the nutrient content depends on the type of wheat. A rapid test method could help to increase the nutrient content of ...
Anaerobic bacteria were among the first life forms on Earth and existed at a time when there was no oxygen in the atmosphere. While many organisms depend on an oxygen-rich environment to survive, anaerobes thrive in places ...
Not much attention is paid to plankton because these creatures are usually hidden from sight. They are mostly microscopic in size and live in aquatic environments, but human lives are intricately connected with plankton.
A global study has revealed that mineral-associated organic matter (MAOM) serves as the most stable long-term reservoir of carbon across diverse ecosystems, providing new insights into how carbon moves and stabilizes in soils.
