Jan 18, 2025 · Plants in the shade utilize more light for photosynthesis than previously thought. A team of researchers from Utrecht University and Wageningen University & Research (WUR) describe how, in the scientific journal Plant Cell & Environment. Their conclusions not only advance research into the functioning of photosynthesis in shady conditions, but may also benefit greenhouse horticulture.

An increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere 56 million years ago abruptly led to a wetter Central Asia with more plant growth. The publication in the scientific journal Nature Geoscience by an international group of scientists, among whom Carina Hoorn from the University of Amsterdam (UvA), sheds light on how our future will be shaped by global climate change.

Jan 10, 2025 · The extensive northern forests of Canada, Alaska and Siberia are about to fundamentally change their tree density because of climate change. According to a new study led by researchers from Wageningen University & Research, this change will increase the risk of forest fires. The research team explored twenty years of tree cover data from satellites to …

22-NOV-2023 - LUCA, the ‘last universal common ancestor’ of all living organisms, lived 4.32 to at most 4.52 billion years ago. This is indicated by a study from NIOZ biologists Tara Mahendrarajah and senior author Anja Spang, with collaborating partners from Universities in Bristol, Hungary and Tokyo, that was published today in Nature Communications.

Jan 22, 2025 · The image of the classic nature volunteer – an older man with binoculars and a passion for nature conservation – no longer seems to hold true. A recent study by Wageningen University & Research shows that Dutch people engage with nature and green spaces much more often and in different ways than previously thought.

A new study compared the effectiveness of three popular artificial reefs to increase fish densities around Saba and St Eustatius. The researchers found that a complex internal structure, that provides more shelter availability, resulted in increased fish abundance, biomass and species richness. The results of this study were used to design an even better working artificial reef.
