Understanding Plants Can Boost Wildland-Fire Modeling in Uncertain Future
A new conceptual framework for incorporating the way plants use carbon and water, or plant dynamics, into fine-scale computer models of wildland fire provides a critical first step toward improved global fire forecasting.
Health Impact of Chemicals in Plastics is Handed Down Two Generations
Fathers exposed to chemicals in plastics can affect the metabolic health of their offspring for two generations, a University of California, Riverside, mouse study reports.
