Nitrogen Loss on Sandy Shores: The Big Impact of Tiny Anoxic Pockets
Denitrification in tiny anoxic pockets on sand grains could account for up to one-third of total nitrogen loss in silicate shelf sands.
New Research Shows How Solar Arrays Can Aid Grasslands During Drought
New research from Colorado State University and Cornell University shows that the presence of solar panels in Colorado’s grasslands may reduce water stress, improve soil moisture levels and – particularly during dry years – increase plant growth by about 20% or more compared to open fields.
Researchers at the University of Graz Enable Reliable Monitoring of Paris Climate Goals
Global warming is continuously advancing. How quickly this will happen can now be predicted more accurately than ever before, thanks to a method developed by climate researcher Gottfried Kirchengast and his team at the University of Graz.
