University of Córdoba study: use of these crops reduces soil carbon loss in Mediterranean olive groves by more than 75 percent
Study from the US analyzed trends in vertebrate populations by measuring the effectiveness of land protection policies
An Austrian study highlighted the behavior of soil bacteria during drought. “Simulating future climate conditions actually resulted in more bacteria remaining active despite drought,” the authors explain
According to UC Davis researchers, soil viruses appear to act “like lawnmowers, culling older cells and giving space for new growth”
The Commission has made available a database and a continental atlas of drought risk. A study of past data reveals negative predictions: the phenomenon will occur more often in the future
The University of the Amazon has developed a tool to detect potential threats to the forest in the field. It recognizes noises such as chainsaws and tractors: so it can warn of dangers in real time
According to the University of California, the use of plant-derived nanoparticles can reduce the amount of pesticides used and the chances of soil contamination
Some plants help clear roadsides of salt and pollutants, a research has found. But their contribution is not enough. De-icing applications need to be reduced
Managing soil water in an effective way is a key condition for developing agriculture capable of meeting global demand under the scenario of climate change, FAO notes
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.
