Illinois researchers found that fluorescent light sensors can detect the otherwise invisible signs of high-temperature stress in soybeans and that this stress is linked to a reduction in crop yield.

As with many introduced species the beachgrasses come with ecological costs to the native flora and fauna.

Scientists need to work closely with resource management agencies to assess impacts

Because of anthropogenic emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NOx), the NOx deposition rate is about five-fold greater than that of pre-industrial times largely due to energy production and biomass burning.

New research shows that this type of wildfire—which can survive the winter to re-emerge in spring—is becoming more common in high northern latitudes as the climate warms.

Traditional fertilization practices and over simplified nutrient recommendations are directly tied to Nepal’s declining rice yields; researchers have introduced a promising new tool that is bridging the productivity gap through a more precise, farmer-participatory approach.

Michigan is home to 465 bee species and each one plays a role in the states’ ecosystems. 

Pollinators in the tropics are less likely to thrive in intensive croplands, finds a new study led by UCL researchers suggesting bees and butterflies are at risk of major losses.

Oregon State University researchers say “topographic templates” can help forest conservation managers develop strategies for protecting and restoring the most fire-resistant parts of vulnerable forests across a range of ecosystems.

Global agriculture both is one of the major drivers of climate change and strongly affected by it.
