Human activity leaves lasting chemical mark on corals
Corals living near areas of intensive human activity accumulate chemicals from pollution and show signs of depleted energy reserves, according to new research that highlights another way coastal development may be undermining the world’s reefs.
Are microplastics turning sewers into methane hotspots?
Microplastics flowing through urban sewer systems may be doing more than polluting waterways, with new research suggesting they could also alter underground microbial ecosystems in ways that increase methane emissions.
