Global Warming Forecasts Major Changes In Existing Climate Zones
Madison WI (SPX) Mar 27, 2007A new global warming study predicts that many current climate zones will vanish entirely by the year 2100, replaced by climates unknown in today's world. Global climate models for the next century forecast the complete disappearance of several existing climates currently found in tropical highlands and regions near the poles, while large swaths of the tropics and subtropics may develop new ... more Light-Based Probe Sees Early Cancers In First Tests On Human Tissue 
Durham NC (SPX) Mar 27, 2007In its first laboratory tests on human tissue, a light-based probe built by researchers at Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering almost instantly detected the earliest signs of cancer in cells that line internal organs. If the preliminary success of the "optical biopsy" is confirmed through clinical trials, such a device could ultimately provide a particular advantage for early dia ... more Too Much Water And Fertilizer Bad For Plant Diversity 
Irvine CA (SPX) Mar 27, 2007Too much of multiple good things - water or nutrients, for example - may decrease the diversity of plant life in an ecosystem while increasing the productivity of a few species, a UC Irvine scientist has discovered. This finding provides a new explanation for why grasslands, lakes and rivers polluted with nitrogen and phosphorus, usually from agriculture, contain a limited number of plant ... more MORE HEADLINES |
