Diversifying rotations does not promote carbon storage but increases nitrogen availability with positive impact on soil and climate, a Iowa University study has found
Nitrogen, the UN agency remarks, is an essential element but also a contaminant. Its intake to the soil is likely to quadruple by the end of the 21st century
According to a study, the inflow of nutrients would eventually provide a competitive advantage to some tree species resulting in a loss of biodiversity
According to a study, the interaction between groundwater resources, crops and irrigation impacts the rate of rainfall recycling with a direct effect on agricultural management and water availability
A study by the Agency for Ecological Transition reveals that 76 percent of soils examined contain microplastics between 0.3 and 5 millimeters in size. Polyethylene is the most prevalent polymer
This was claimed by the National Institute for Space Research. The Brazilian Amazon has experienced about 1 million fires in the past five years. Worst drought in 74 years played a crucial role
In California, the interaction between drought and subsequent rainfall promotes the dispersion of nitrogen that can reach surface waters, explains a U.S. study
According to a Chinese study, the quality of rice has been deteriorating for decades, and the phenomenon is unlikely to slow down over this century
An unusual experiment sheds light on the impact of climate change on carbon capture in the Earth’s wetlands. In freshwater areas and tidal marshes lies the greatest sequestration potential
According to a UC Berkeley study, mycorrhizal fungi impact flower characteristics and, consequently, the number and duration of visits by bees
It’s beneath our feet but we never think about its value. We tread on it, we mistreat it, but a healthy, fertile soil means life. It’s time to take care of the soil and each one of us can and must make a difference.
