A global field survey of dryland sites shows that plant species richness is the strongest predictor of resistance to overgrazing.

Global Recognition for Pioneering Contributions to Marine Science and Ocean Sustainability

New research led by scientists at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) reveals that plant species diversity is a stronger predictor of how dryland ecosystems respond to grazing pressure than climate, soil conditions or livestock type.

When water leaves a hydrophobic material, it acquires an electrical charge that could affect liquid-handling processes.

At King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), Professor Renato Morais will examine how ocean currents bringing nutrients and plankton from the open ocean shape the health and productivity of reefs in the Red Sea.

Data collected at a pivotal time provide baseline information for coral reef resilience and management in the northeastern and central Red Sea.
