Dec. 23, 2021 Planting trees and suppressing wildfires do not necessarily maximize the carbon storage of natural ecosystems. A new study has found that prescribed burning can actually lock in or increase carbon in ...
Apr. 7, 2021 Researchers have long been curious about the striking growth form of spinifex and now scientists say soil microbes are the ...
Sep. 8, 2022 Soil microbes can have a great impact on the spread of harmful invasive species as they can either hinder or facilitate the plant's growth. Researchers studied the role of soil microbiota in the ...
Apr. 12, 2023 Soil stores more carbon than plants and the atmosphere combined, and soil microbes are largely responsible for putting it there. However, the increasing frequency and severity of drought, such as ...
Nov. 28, 2022 Researchers examined root exudates and their impact on soil carbon storage revealing surprising and counterintuitive ...
Mar. 7, 2023 A research team has shed new light on the importance of plant roots for below-ground life, particularly in the tropics. Millions of small creatures toiling in a single hectare of soil including ...
Nov. 25, 2022 Researchers have shown -- for the first time -- that less intensively managed British grazed grasslands have on average 50% more plant species and better soil health than intensively managed ...
Aug. 2, 2022 With record temperatures this summer along with dry conditions, ongoing concerns about food security, wildlife habitats and biodiversity, having a healthy soil system is more vital and challenging ...
May 5, 2023 Using a long-term multifactor experimental field site researchers showed that experimental warming of a tallgrass prairie ecosystem significantly altered the community structure of soil archaea and ...
Nov. 22, 2021 Researchers have developed an innovative technique to track microbes and understand the various ways they process soil carbon, findings that add to our knowledge of how bacteria contribute to the ...
