To bring these allegations to light, he has mounted a legal case for consideration by India's Central Empowered Committee (CEC), a panel of experts appointed by the nation's Supreme Court to rule on issues concerning forests and wildlife. According to documents submitted to the CEC, the Meghalaya state government claims that only 670 trees were felled in the Dibru Hills forest from 2004 to 2007.

Phosphate-based fertilizers have helped spur agricultural gains in the past century, but the world may soon run out of them. Natasha Gilbert investigates the potential phosphate crisis.

[...] as political and social tensions build over the reserves of phosphate rock, the world could move from an oil-based to a phosphate-based economy, say some scientists and industry representatives. Michel Prud'homme, executive secretary of the association's Production and International Trade Committee, says that the industry anticipates that demand for fertilizers will grow at a \"fairly moderate rate\", slowing by the middle of the century. In a back-of-theenvelope calculation, he estimates that if all domestic wastewater facilities in Canada were converted into biological treatment systems using his technology, the country could produce enough fertilizer to meet about 30% of its current needs.

Superweeds? Suicides? Stealthy genes? The true, the false and the still unknown about transgenic crops.

Physicians need more ways of tackling anxiety, depression and age-related cognitive decline - these conditions place a huge burden on health systems, and treatment options are limited. [...]researchers need to strengthen their understanding of how the active constituents of tea act on the body, as well as the doses required to produce short- and long-term effects. The EGCG drinkers experienced an increase in brain activity across all bandwidths: alpha waves; theta waves, which are associated with quiet wakefulness; and beta waves, which increase with focus and attention. Animal and in vitro studies7 have shown that EGCG can pass through the blood-brain barrier to act directly on the brain, and that it might improve the health of blood vessels and boost the supply of nitric oxide that together could benefit cognitive function.

Researchers are discovering how the ingredients in a cup of tea can lift mood, improve focus and perhaps even ward off depression and dementia. Researchers are discovering how the ingredients in a cup of tea can lift mood, improve focus and perhaps even ward off depression and dementia.

The creatures at the bottom of the ocean are little-studied, but emerging data hint at long-term damage from efforts to harvest metals on the sea floor.

As the military alliance created to counter the Soviet Union expands, it is prioritizing studies on how climate change affects security, cyberattacks and election interference.
