Wildfires leave long-lasting impacts on water quality in the Western U.S.
Wildfires significantly impact water quality for up to 8 years post-burn, according to a new study that analyzes data from 500 watersheds across the western continental United States. This effort is the most extensive synthesis to date of large-scale, long-term trends in water quality in response to fires.

Mowing through challenges: cutting-edge ways to improve grassland restoration efforts
A new study explores how grassland restoration can be limited by seed dispersal, plant competition, and environmental factors. Drawing from ecological theory to test the best restoration strategies, researchers recommend mowing to manage weeds and promote native plant success. In years with plenty of rain, adding seeds of small native plants to areas where grass has been removed is an effective strategy to increase native herbaceous plant cover.

Biologists go the distance for the safe release of migratory birds
Migrating birds have embarked on treacherous voyages for hundreds of thousands of years. Yet, habitat loss and climate change might be their biggest challenge. With many species on the brink of extinction, conservation programs aim to return and sustain wild populations of the world’s most vulnerable species. Captive breeding programs must select the fittest birds to survive such a perilous flight. Researchers find that sharper wing tips might improve survival during the first migration. There’s no time for winging it.
