Discover how precise soil temperature management can revolutionize indoor farming, enhancing crop yields and reducing water ...

Heating alone won’t drive soil microbes to release more carbon dioxide — they need added carbon and nutrients to thrive. This finding challenges assumptions about how climate warming influences soil ...

Local ranchers are hoping a soil health experiment will reveal clues about how they can better manage their land under dry conditions as the Colorado River basin continues to struggle under the ...

Climate change is degrading the ability of soils to absorb water, according to a study published in the journal Science Advances. This could have implications for global warming, because water in the ...

A newly engineered type of soil can capture water out of thin air to keep plants hydrated and manage controlled release of fertilizer for a constant supply of nutrients. A newly engineered type of ...

Just like any other organisms, crop-destroying soil microbes die if they get too hot. With that fact in mind, scientists have developed a new system in which soil-heating microwaves are used to kill ...

Malawi’s increasingly unpredictable rainfall and higher than usual temperatures are causing problems for smallholder farmers. Soil erosion has increased, causing soil fertility and water availability ...

A scientist at England’s University of Reading shared a video of a unique water experiment he conducted that shows how water is absorbed into different soils. Rob Thompson, who conducted the ...

BOZEMAN – Emerging opportunities in the realm of precision agriculture are countless, examining earth, sky and everything in between. At Montana State University, faculty are delving into many of them ...
