The research found that at least 18 million people living in poverty fish in seagrass meadows across the Indo-Pacific. Of these, around 6.5 million are entirely dependent on the habitat for both food and fishing-related income. The study also revealed that households living in extreme poverty were significantly more likely to rely on seagrass meadows for all their fishing activities. Seagrass-depe
Drier climates are exacerbating an expensive problem for millions of Australians whose homes sit on expansive soils prone to shrinkage cracks, which have already cost insurance companies and individuals billions of dollars in damage bills. A new study by Adelaide University, using computer modelling and field observations, shows that homes are more vulnerable to damage than previously thought, and climate change is expected to worsen the problem in coming years. With 20-30% of Australian surface

The pistil is the female reproductive organ of flowering plants. The stigma at the top is responsible for capturing and identifying pollen, and the style below provides a growth channel for the pollen tube. The presence of a clear, stable boundary between the stigma and style is essential to ensure sexual reproduction in the plant.
