A team of marine biologists and oceanographers at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Falmouth, Massachusetts, has found that creating soundscapes for coral larvae encourages them to settle on desired coral reefs.
The soil is teeming with useful microorganisms, but there are also organisms that attack agricultural crops, affecting plant growth, yield, and quality. All soil that is to be moved in infrastructure projects or any other ...
