A new study published in the Journal of Plant Ecology has found that temperate forest tree species, regardless of their root symbiosis with either ectomycorrhizal (ECM) or arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, consistently prefer ...
A new study challenges the idea that climate change is behind the erratic wintertime behavior of the polar jet stream, the massive current of Arctic air that regulates weather for much of the Northern Hemisphere.
As the dairy industry increasingly adopts automation with the use of sensors and robotics, researchers at Texas A&M AgriLife are helping producers harness this evolving technology to help optimize production and improve the ...
A research team from the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has released Africa's first high-resolution rice distribution map, featuring a resolution of 20 meters. This dataset ...
In order to develop improved electrolyzers for regenerative hydrogen production, the processes on the surfaces of the metal electrodes used must be precisely understood. Researchers from the Theory Department at the Fritz ...
Shooting lasers at foes is the stuff of science fiction, but now, a few farmers are fighting one of their greatest nemeses with a new technology—laser weeders.
Solving life's great mysteries often requires detective work, using observed outcomes to determine their cause. For instance, nuclear physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility ...
