Decarbonization with microbial electrosynthesis
Eric Conners, Arpita Bose and Prem Prabhakar at the Department of Biology, Washington University, discuss microbial electrosynthesis - a way of creating commercially significant bio-commodities.
Damaged seagrasses can emit methane, even after death
Scientists find that seagrasses continue to produce methane even decades after the plants die – highlighting the potential for more methane emissions if seagrasses are threatened.
Paris Agreement targets are yet to protect coral reefs
The Paris Agreement limited global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, which still has devastating impacts for coral reefs – remaining on track for coral degeneration.
How has marsh pollution affected the survival of sea anemones?
Scientists say the stationary sea anemone, Nematostella, has been decreasing in numbers - as it becomes severely impacted by pollution.
