Researchers Find Toxin from Maple Tree in Cow’s Milk
Cows can pass on the hypoglycin A toxin through their milk, a study by the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) and the Leibniz Institute of Plant Biochemistry (IPB) in "Toxins" shows.
Substantial Carbon Dioxide Emissions from Northern Peatlands Drained for Crop Cultivation
Only about half of the carbon released through the conversion of peat to croplands was compensated by continuous carbon absorption in natural northern peatlands.
Plant Competition During Climate Change
How plants cope with stress factors has already been broadly researched.
Study of Past South Asian Monsoons Suggests Stronger Monsoon Rainfall in the Future
A new study of monsoon rainfall on the Indian subcontinent over the past million years provides vital clues about how the monsoons will respond to future climate change.
Fungus Creates a Fast Track for Carbon
Tiny algae in Earth’s oceans and lakes take in sunlight and carbon dioxide and turn them into sugars that sustain the rest of the aquatic food web, gobbling up about as much carbon as all the world’s trees and plants combined.
