Invasive ants are among the alien species causing the greatest ecological, economic and health damage. This study, published in Biological Conservation, shows how policymakers can arrive at a framework of realistic action plans to manage this threat.

Artificial surfaces related to urban sprawl are a major driver of exotic plant invasions in Rome, this study from the Journal of Environmental Management shows, However, science-based green infrastructure could help stop the invasion process.

Scrubbers effectively reduce sulphur emissions from ships, but their efficiency in capturing other potentially harmful gases is uncertain. This study in Environmental Research highlights the environmental and health impacts of marine fuels and wet scrubbers.

Remote sensing is a cost-effective tool for indirectly assessing forest status. But it relies on indirect proxies that often have a coarse resolution. Satellite data from Sentinel-2 can help anticipate the drought-inducing effects of climate change, suggests this study.

If improperly managed, boil-off gas (the gas that evaporates from liquid natural gas) can compromise safety, waste resources and pollute the environment. This ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering paper provides insights to enhance the sustainability of boil-off gas management strategies.
