California drought helps state save oak trees from deadly pathogen
2014-06-25 23:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: California's drought is worsening and turning farms to dust, but it is also helping to save oak trees from a deadly fungus and keep beaches clean from bacteria-saturated water. The lack of rain has impeded a disease which kills the state's signature tree and reduced the amount of bacteria-laden water which contaminates the coast, according to reports this week. The good news did not dispel alarm over the wider crisis. Almost 33% of California is now suffering exceptional drought, the highest...

Breeding Trees Better Adapted Warmer Climates
2014-06-17 23:35:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Scientists have confirmed the function of a gene that controls the awakening of trees from winter dormancy, a discovery that may be the key to a world in which trees don't have to worry about adapting to warmer climates. The decade-long study, carried out by the University of Oregon, identified the EBB1 gene - or what they are calling the bud-break gene - involved in producing the first green leaves of spring. This gene is a master regulator in poplar trees (Populus species), and could pave the...

Britain plants & trees under threat rising temperatures study
2014-06-16 11:38:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: Dozens of plant and tree species are under threat as they fail to adapt to warming temperatures, a University of Cambridge study has found. Species including yew, hawthorn and stinging nettles are expected to decline in the UK, along with 38 other species. Environmentalists have argued that the findings demonstrate the need to analyse and monitor Britains ecology and encourage a greater responsibility for monitoring natural habitats. Data was collected from the Woodland Trust, which has...
