    Nitrogen pollution identified as major driver of biodiversity loss in UK coastal waters

    A new study of the British Isles' coastal ecosystems has revealed that nitrogen enrichment is significantly reducing the abundance and variety of marine life. The research, published by scientists at Swansea University and the charity Project Seagrass, warns that increasing nutrient flows are overriding local habitat conditions to restructure and deplete coastal biodiversity. The work is published in the journal Global Ecology and Conservation.

    How to build cities for wildlife, not just people

    In central Seoul, South Korea, a motorway once covered a buried urban stream. Today, that same stretch has been uncovered—a process known as daylighting—and this river is home to plants, fish and insects. This flowing water cools the city in summer and attracts tens of thousands of people every day. What used to be concrete now boosts biodiversity, the local economy and community well-being.

    Hunters' appreciation of a targeted deer-management program transcends harvest

    Too many white-tailed deer are damaging forests in the U.S. by eating young plants before they can grow, limiting forest regeneration and damaging biodiversity. To mitigate this challenge, the Pennsylvania Game Commission implemented an initiative called the Deer Management Assistance Program (DMAP) that helps landowners manage deer populations by allowing hunters to harvest more female deer where they are overabundant. While hunters largely value and enjoy hunting in DMAP areas, they have some sentiments that may help inform wildlife management, according to a new study by Penn State researchers.
