New research reveals that cultural tolerance and political pressure, rather than just biological science, dictate the life or death of tigers in India and wolves in Germany.
Researchers at IIT Guwahati have discovered that while drought shrinks the vertical water channels in plants, it triggers a structural adaptation that boosts the efficiency of sideways water transport, ensuring survival in dry conditions.
Satellite analysis confirms rising temperatures and wind patterns are driving aerosol spikes across India, with a record high in 2022 following the historic lows of the COVID-19 lockdown.
Synergistic pressures from land use changes and climate extremes are the primary drivers behind a worrying decline in the Western Ghats' ability to absorb carbon.
Ecological droughts are on the rise in India's pristine forests and croplands, driven primarily by meteorological aridity and ocean warming, posing a major threat to the country's sustainability and food security.
New research using Earth Observation (EO) satellite data and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) provides a comprehensive map of desertification vulnerability across Rajasthan, highlighting critical areas and key environmental and human factors driving land degradation.
India's Eocene rainforests, preserved in amber, offer a vivid window into how intricate ecological webs sustained biodiversity through past climate shifts, providing crucial insights for our warming world.
Lichens are proving to be sensitive indicators of climate change in the Himalayas, with their unique traits revealing shifts in temperature and precipitation.
New research in Bengaluru reveals that unchecked urban growth, replacing natural landscapes with concrete, dramatically intensifies urban heat islands, underscoring the critical need for green spaces and water bodies to maintain livable temperatures.
A new study found that while India’s east coast, with its vast river deltas, might have a slight edge in adapting to changing conditions in the short term, both coasts face serious threats.
A new study presents a comprehensive understanding of how river floods in India have evolved over the past 40 years, from 1970 to 2010, based on records of river flow from 173 different monitoring stations spread across the country.
