Key Switchgrass Genes Identified, Which Could Mean Better Biofuels Ahead
Biologists believe they are one step closer to a long-held goal of making a cheap, widely available plant a source for energy and fuel, meaning one of the next big weapons in the battle against climate change may be able to trace its roots to the side of a Texas highway.
Forests With Diverse Tree Sizes and Small Clearings Hinder Wildland Fire Growth

More Than Just CO2: It’s Time to Tackle Short-Lived Climate-Forcing Pollutants
It is common practice in climate policy to bundle the climate warming pollutants together and express their total effects in terms of “CO2 equivalence”.
Scientists Develop Perovskite Solar Modules with Greater Size, Power and Stability
Researchers from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST) have created perovskite solar modules with improved stability and efficiency by using a new fabrication technique that reduced defects.
Tens of Millions of Birds Pass Through Just Two Western U.S. Corridors
California’s Central Valley and the Colorado River Delta host more than 82 million birds every year during the fall migration, according to a new study published in the journal Ornithological Applications.
