POSTECH Professor Seung-Ki Min’s Research Team Compares Future Extreme Fire Weather Under ‘Net-Zero’ vs. ‘Net-Negative’ Emission Scenarios.

A new commentary outlines China’s ambitious national park strategy, which balances strict ecological protection, public welfare, and sustainable development to conserve key ecosystems and prioritize global biodiversity goals.

Iowa State researchers have developed a "lab-on-a-drone" that can fly to remote, marshy areas of farm fields and collect real-time measurements of nitrates. The resulting maps of nutrient concentrations could provide "an evaluation critical for both economic and environmental sustainability," according to the researchers.

Counterintuitively, despite the ongoing fuel crisis and the over two decades since the global phaseout of leaded gasoline, toxic lead still lingers in Metro Manila’s air.

Nowadays, vast and rapidly growing information acts as digital records of social activities and is widely collected and stored as economic assets. To reduce the difficulty and local data management’s cost significantly, cloud storage services provide a highly available, high-performance, and low-cost solution for user data hosting, enabling remote access, backup, and sharing of data stored by the cloud. However, this service model is not without security risks, including user privacy exposure, low trustworthiness of data, and unauthorized access. To address these concerns, attribute-based encryption

Biochar has been widely promoted as a sustainable solution for improving soil health, cleaning polluted water, and capturing carbon. However, a comprehensive review warns that its environmental safety may be more complex than previously thought.

A new commentary analyzes China’s shifting land-use policies, weighing ecological restoration via Grain for Green against food security pressures that have spurred forest-to-farmland conversion.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, widely known as PFAS or “forever chemicals,” have become a growing global concern due to their persistence, toxicity, and widespread presence in water, soil, and even food. A new review study highlights how biochar, a carbon-rich material derived from biomass, could play a key role in addressing this environmental challenge.
