Geoscientists Reconstruct ‘Eye-Opening’ 900-Year Northeast Climate Record
Deploying a new technique for the first time in the region, geoscientists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have reconstructed the longest and highest-resolution climate record for the Northeastern United States.
Scientists Fix Photosynthetic Inefficiency, Boost Crop Yields 40 Percent
Scientists have found a way to boost crop growth by as much as 40 percent by fixing a glitch in the photosynthesis process, according to a new study published in the journal Science. With current techniques to improve yields largely optimized — including using more pesticides, fertilizers, and irrigation — the scientists argue that the new findings offer a breakthrough way for farmers to feed more people on less land.
Beech Trees are Dying, and Nobody’s Sure Why
Intense effort underway to find culprit behind rapid disease spread.
Trees change inside as drought persists
James Cook University scientists have found that trees change their anatomy in response to prolonged drought.
Leafcutter Ants Emit as Much N2O as Wastewater Treatment Tanks
Tropical forests are one of the largest natural sources of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O), and a tiny insect may play a big role in how those emissions are spread out across the landscape.
