A new University of Michigan-led study finds that farmers in India have adapted to warming temperatures by intensifying the withdrawal of groundwater used for irrigation.

In the Arctic and boreal biomes, well drained upland soils with a high potential for atmospheric methaneconsumption cover more than 80% of the land area.

As climate change continues to pose severe challenges to ensuring sustainable food supplies around the world, scientists from McGill University are looking for ways to improve the resilience and nutritional quality of potatoes.

In northern Yellowstone National Park, saplings of quaking aspen, an ecologically important tree in the American West, are being broken by a historically large bison herd, affecting the comeback of aspen from decades of over-browsing by elk.

In certain trees, soils can form along branches and can support varied plant and animal life.

Like every industry, modern farming relies heavily on plastics.

A new analysis from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and the USDA-Agricultural Research Service (ARS) has identified the top factors accounting for yield variability in processing sweet corn (used for canned and frozen products), including one within the control of processors.

A sustainable future for the entire food supply chain is the ambition of Sudhir Yadav, The University of Queensland’s first Associate Professor of Sustainability.

Climate impacts such as dry, hot summers reduce the growth and increase the mortality of trees in the Black Forest because they negatively influence the climatic water balance, i.e., the difference between precipitation and potential evapotranspiration.

The specialist in climate inequality, a researcher in Oxford’s Department of Social Policy and Intervention (DSPI), is author of the ground-breaking study, which is published in Nature Human Behaviour.
