🎨🌍 From ghost-white #coral reefs to paler #city songbirds, researchers in the field of chromatic #ecology are finding that the world is literally losing its hue.

These fading #colors are actually a vital biological signal and tell us a lot about the health of our #ecosystems.

@uniinnsbruck interesting in German written #article about #fishes in #highmountain #lakes as being #introduced due to #humanactivities and about the remarkable #effects they can have on their new montainous #ecosystems.

Beavers: "how they shape landscapes, and why reintroductions make sense in the right places."

Microbes may be invisible, but they underpin planetary and ecosystem health — and are increasingly threatened by climate change, pollution and land use change.

A new IUCN specialist group aims to put microbes on the conservation agenda, including Red and Green Lists for at-risk species.

#China confirms #solarpanel projects are irreversibly changing #desert #ecosystems
A team studying one of the largest #photovoltaic parks in China, the Gonghe project in the Talatan Desert, found a striking difference between what was happening under the panels and what lay just beyond. Environment beneath the panels was noticeably healthier. The reasons track with physics: shade cools the surface and slows evaporation, letting scarce soil moisture linger longer.
