Researchers find a cause of high arsenic concentrations in recharged aquifers: dissolved organic compounds.

Fires are burning so fiercely that they are lofting smoke to unusual heights.

A new study published by biologists at LMU demonstrates that there are no simple or universal solutions to the problem of engineering plants to enable them to cope with the challenges posed by climate change.

Nematodes are tiny, ubiquitous roundworms that infect plant roots, causing more than $100 billion in crop damage worldwide each year. 

Desertification has always been a serious challenge for human beings, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. 

New digital tools developed by Oregon State University will enable land managers to better adapt to the new reality of large wildfires through analytics that guide planning and suppression across jurisdictional boundaries that fires typically don’t adhere to.

The next step is learning more about whether these root-associated fungi are keeping some nitrogen to themselves, and why.

University of Saskatchewan (USask) researchers have designed a chain of software programs that combine biology and computer science to help identify the pathogen proteins that contribute to the insurgence of clubroot disease now affecting canola across the Prairies.

People have used the phrase “drone on and on” for a long time. Webster’s dictionary defines this figure of speech as “to speak for a long time in a dull voice without saying anything interesting.”
