The UN agency unveils new project to expand monitoring capacity and provide a scientific foundation for biodiversity protection and sustainable soil use
A Japanese study has identified some bacteria in rice roots that are responsible for nitrogen fixation and can spread in soil without fertilizers or pesticides. This helps the plant adapt and grow
An American study reveals the existence of a second layer of roots developed by several plant species—often overlooked—that enables additional carbon sequestration
A study on abnormal heat phenomena, involving researchers from the United States and Chile, reveals an acceleration of the trend on a global scale. Tropical regions are the most affected
New research reconsiders the presence of trees in tropical regions. Until now models excluded one in six plants. Thus ignoring the related ecological benefits
Agricultural drought is affecting northwestern Europe, the Baltic and some eastern and southern regions of the Continent. In contrast, following heavy rains higher yields are expected in Italy, Greece and the Iberian Peninsula
After years of study, a group of U.S. researchers has mapped the spore traits of 344 species of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Gaining relevant information to assess their distribution and resilience to stresses
Processing of images captured by drones, a study from the University of Florida states, makes it possible to assess the health and growth status of plants by providing guidance on the optimal fertilizer dose
According to the EU Environment Agency, from land use, land use change and forestry, Europe saves almost 200 million tonnes of carbon each year. Compared to 330 recorded on average between 1991 and 2013
By combining AI machine learning with radiometric data, researchers at the University of Galway managed to identify not previously detected peat soils
