A study led by researchers at the Agroecosystem Sustainability Center (ASC) at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign quantifies the soil organic carbon (SOC) benefits from cover crops in maize-soybean rotations in Midwestern ...
Permafrost in the Tibetan Plateau contains a large amount of soil organic carbon (SOC). Climate change leads to rapid permafrost degradation and thermal collapse, which can change the microgeomorphology and soil physical ...
Field sampling combined with laboratory analysis is the most commonly used approach to obtain deep soil organic carbon (SOC) data and has been widely applied for more than a century. This approach provides the most accurate ...
Climate projection requires an accurate understanding for the decomposition of soil organic carbon (SOC) and its response to warming. However, the wide array of organic molecules in the soil exhibits distinct chemical structures ...
The amount of surface oxygen in graphene materials is a key factor in how effective they could be in killing bacteria—a discovery which may help to design safer and more effective products to combat antimicrobial resistance.
Researchers in South Africa are feeling the effects of the country's continuing power cuts and fear for the impact the electricity crisis is having on their research output.
Smart electronic soil sensors could enable farmers to deliver tailored doses of water to their crops, maximizing food production while saving water. KAUST researchers have developed a rapid and sensitive soil moisture sensor, ...
In the study of human impact on the environment, there are few negative or stabilizing feedbacks on climate change.
A study led by researchers at the Agroecosystem Sustainability Center (ASC) at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign provides new insights for quantifying cropland carbon budgets and soil carbon credits, two important ...
