Environmental Science Will green flood defences work? The results were mixed. While vegetation slightly reduced water depth and flow speed in some scenarios, it had little to no impact on the overall extent or timing of flooding. As sea levels rose, even these modest benefits faded. In essence, the study revealed that while nature can slow the floodwaters, it may not stop […] Written by brendan June 11, 2025June 11, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked

Deep-sea fish just changed what we know about Earth’s carbon cycle A new study offers the first direct evidence that deep-dwelling mesopelagic fish, which account for up to 94 percent of global fish biomass, excrete carbonate minerals at rates comparable to shallow-water species. The findings validate previous global models suggesting that marine fish are major contributors to biogenic carbonate production in the ocean.
