A study found that solar panels boost grassland productivity—with potential benefits for grazers, and for biodiversity—by up ...

Snakes (Serpentes) live almost everywhere on Earth, except the polar regions, which are too cold for these cold-blooded ...

Ecosystem responses to global change are often nonlinear. Ecological thresholds are tipping points beyond which small changes ...

The region’s rich mosaic of short and tall grasses, shinnery oak, sand sagebrush, and forbs provided cover for the birds as well as insects, leaves, and seeds for them to eat. Wildfire and grazing by ...

Temperate deciduous forests are located in the mid-latitude areas which means that they are found between the polar regions and the tropics. The deciduous forest regions are exposed to warm and cold ...

The placement of solar panels in Colorado’s grasslands could help decrease water stress and increase plant growth by about 20 percent during dry years, a new study has found. In these semi-arid ...

Grasses growing in the shade of a solar array were only a little less productive than those growing nearby in open grassland during years of average and above-average rainfall—but in a dry year, the ...

A sweeping look at the vanishing American prairie and two crime novels set in Minnesota are this week’s offerings to our readers.

Therefore, increasing grassland production in dry years could provide more available food for grazing animals and help offset some of the economic harm of drought in rangelands. Informing sustainable ...
