Aim: Megafire events generate immediate concern for wildlife and human well-being, but their broader ecological impacts likely extend beyond individual species and single fire events. In the first mechanistic study of fire effects focussed on ecosystems, we aimed to assess the sensitivity and exposure of ecosystems to multiple fire-related threats, placing impacts in the context of changing fire regimes and their interactions with other threats. Location: Southern and eastern Australia. Time per...

Not just ornaments understand that these animals are notjust ornaments for us to play with as we wish, and i think attitudes have changed. when i was a kid, circuses were on television every christmas. we celebrated circuses, and the training of wild animals was part of that. attitudes have changed. particularly now, with the loss of biodiversity around the world, the twin crises of climate change and biodiversity loss and the ecosystem collapse, we have to start seeing animals for what they act...

Species extinction, ecosystem collapse and mega— storms. that is all the time we have for you and newsday. thank you so much forjoining us on the programme. to stay with bbc news. hello there. monday was a bit grey, wasnt it, for many of us, with outbreaks of rain at times. in fact, this is leek in staffordshire, and a fairly typical shot through monday afternoon. as the rain eased, it turned quite misty and murky. and the rain is sitting across the far south east as we speak, but it is allowi...

A global treaty on plastic pollution must incentivize a make-take-reuse waste management system and include quantitative targets based on geography-specific emissions.

That are expected, which would completely potentially displace millions of people, cause ecosystem collapse. avoiding those severe impacts is still within our reach, and its still possible. >> all right. lets hope everyone can do their part. thank you so much for talking with us. we do appreciate it. >> thank you for having me. af ghans are fleeing the fighting in their country but theyre running out of safe places to go. the latest on the taliban offensive. thats ahead. and will barcelona l...

(Photo : Getty Images) Great Salt Lake  A senior geologist with the Utah Geological Survey, Michael Van Denberg, says that microbialites - underwater reef-like rock mounds, are at risk of being prone to the air.  Van Denberg told KCPW that when the lake level is down, with the structures in the open, this might lead to their death - and the attractive microbial mat inhabiting on top of these structures will start eroding off the top.  Dr. Bonnie Baxter in Great Salt Lake Institute at Westmin...

Life will never be the same. the areas of grey forest visible in the distance are dead. a crown fire under a 90km wind burnt through and there has been widespread mortality. eucalypts dont have dormant seeds so because of the sheer scale, it is highly unlikely eucalypts will be regenerating or germinating where whole mountainsides are dead below us, so that is effectively ecosystem collapse. kangaroo islands story since the fires is one of extraordinary resilience and recovery. separated from th...

Experienced on this continent. here on its burnt edges, life will never be the same. the areas of grey forest visible in the distance are dead. a crown fire under a 90 kilometre wind burnt through and there has been widespread mortality. eucalyptus dont have dormant seeds. so because of the sheer scale it is highly unlikely that eucalyptus will be regenerating or germinating where whole mountainsides are dead below it. so that is effectively ecosystem collapse. kangaroo islands story since the f...

So thats effectively ecosystem collapse. kangaroo islands story since the fires is one of extraordinary resilience and recovery. separated from the mainland 10,000 years ago, it lies just off the coast of south australia, and its the countrys third largest island. scientists say the interaction between plants and animals here provides a biological window into the past, a kind of noahs ark of australian wildlife. but with the islands iron rich soils a magnet for lightning, the cataclysmic events ...
