Researchers at the Brazilian Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM) have genetically engineered a fungus to produce a cocktail of enzymes that break down the carbohydrates in biomass, such as sugarcane trash (tops and leaves) and bagasse, into fermentable sugar for industrially efficient conversion into biofuel.

Emerging technologies can be harnessed to use the strengths of hot, humid coastal deserts of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region to grow food and other crops.

Fruit, grain, and nut farms curve around the western Taurus Mountains in the Antalya province.

By zeroing in on different high-latitude regions around the globe, researchers reveal what global averages mask.

The failure of the summer monsoon and other moisture carrying systems has parched more than 90 percent of some states.

More than half of the world's aboveground carbon is stored in tropical forests, the degradation of which poses a direct threat to global climate regulation.

A Q&A with Berkeley Lab scientist William Riley on the challenges in estimating methane emissions from wetlands and how nuanced computer models may help.

Research conducted by scientists in Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences focused on finding the source of bitter rot disease in fruit.

Plants are factories that manufacture yield from light and carbon dioxide—but parts of this complex process, called photosynthesis, are hindered by a lack of raw materials and machinery.

A recent work published in Geophysical Research Letters by a team of researchers from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics (IAP) at the Chinese Academy of Sciences finds that the projected uncertainty of the precipitation increase over global land monsoon regions by the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) models is mainly due to the spread of the circulation changes across models.
