Climate change is a persistent and growing challenge to plant life on our planet. Changes to the environments that plants are accustomed to affects how they grow.

Reforms needed to ensure the protection of all pollinator species, our food systems and biodiversity as a whole.

Sometimes plants are so similar to each other that the methods developed by 18th century scientist Carl Linnaeus for identifying species are not enough.

Researchers have found evidence that mangrove forests – which protect tropical and subtropical coastlines – are drowning in the Maldives.

Pathogens can significantly weaken the fitness of their hosts, sometimes even causing host mortality.

What if farmers could not only prevent excess phosphorus from polluting downstream waterways, but also recycle that nutrient as a slow-release fertilizer, all without spending a lot of money? 

Forests could regrow naturally on more than 800,000 square miles of land around the tropics, without need for planting trees by hand, a new study finds.

Trees and forests are often seen as symbolic of nature, and for good reason: They are vitally important to both the planet and to people.

A research team led by The University of Queensland is on track to solve a major problem for Australian farmers using targeted breeding to improve yields for sorghum crops.

A new study shows that increasing plant diversity in agriculture can be used to improve the carbon sequestration potential of agricultural soils.
