CBC: It may not be among the most well known types of study, but according to outdoor columnist Frank Ritcey, phenology (not to be confused with phrenology) is among the most important. "The short version is that phenology is the study of the timing of events in natural world," Ritcey told North by Northwest's Sheryl MacKay, careful to point out the difference between the similarly named phrenology.

The ongoing research project at The Ohio State University, the University of Alberta and Simon Fraser University uses statistical analysis to forecast one worm species' spread, in hopes of finding ways to curtail it. Most recently, they've focused on the boreal forest of northern Alberta. No native worms live in the forest whatsoever; the region …

PhysOrg: The highest concentration of carbon in parts of Amazonia is not stored in trees, but below the ground as peat, according to new University of Leeds research. Mapping and quantifying carbon stored in the largest area of peatland forest in Amazonia, a geological basin almost the size of England, the researchers estimated that more than three billion tonnes of carbon is stored within this ecosystem. While Amazonian forests are known to harbour large stores of carbon in their trees, the findings...

ScienceDaily: World leaders face multiple barriers in their efforts to reach agreement on greenhouse gas emission policies. And, according to Arizona State University researchers, without globally consistent, independent emissions assessments, climate agreements will remain burdened by errors, self-reporting, and the inability to verify emissions progress. Now, an international research team led by ASU scientists has developed a new approach to estimate CO2 emissions from burning fossil fuels -- one that provides...
