Whole-ecosystem warming at SPRUCE exponentially increased available nutrients for plants, but observed responses were not captured by the ELM-SPRUCE model The dynamics and availability of nutrients in ...

The availability of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) controls the flow of carbon (C) among plants, soils, and the atmosphere, thereby shaping terrestrial ecosystem responses to global change. Soil C, N ...

The UD Agroecology Lab works at the intersection of ecosystem ecology/biogeochemistry and agronomy to research sustainable nutrient cycling. We investigate how diversified cropping systems, ...

Phosphorous, calcium and charcoal in spotty patches of fertile soil in the Amazon rainforest suggest that natural processes such as fires and river flooding, not the ingenuity of indigenous ...

Industrial agriculture is profitable, but recent trends show that profit may only last in the short run if soil health isn’t prioritized. Farmers in the central US in the 1930s learned the hard way.

Root hairs represent a low-cost strategy to enhance nutrient uptake because they can significantly increase the nutrient-acquiring surface of plant roots. While primary and lateral roots are ...

Biofactor Biologicals (Biofac Inputs Pvt. Ltd.), a pioneer in agri-biological innovations, today announced the national launch of its flagship solution -- the BIOLMIN Kit, India's first integrated ...

Plants have evolved diverse adaptive strategies to optimize the exploration of light and soil resources from their environments. One of the most prominent adaptive responses is the developmental ...
