Photosynthesis

When new plants created savanna in Africa they may have encouraged human evolution.

The interplay between opposing forces that act on trees define their theoretical maximum height.

Icebergs, carrying iron, cause life to bloom near Antarctica, a study indicates.

The blooms of tiny plants appear to peak earlier in Arctic waters with decreasing sea ice.

Life on Earth expanded rapidly about three billion years ago, about the time the chemical process behind photosynthesis and respiration evolved, study says.

A researcher looks to plant photosynthesis as inspiration to harness the power of the sun.

A University of Arizona ecologist studies how climate change is impacting vegetation in the Sonoran Desert.

A green sea slug appears to be part animal, part plant, as it's the first critter discovered to produce the plant pigment chlorophyll.
