Scientists have delineated the critical atomic-scale mechanism that enables water to significantly enhance platinum (Pt)-catalyzed biomass conversion ...
An experiment in Malaysian Borneo found that the more species of tree seedlings planted in a previously logged plot, the more the result later resembles an old-growth forest, with greater biomass ...
The installation is part science, part public demo. As the team's bio-designer, Andrea Shin Ling, put it, per Tech Xplore: ...
Each lander conducted four experiments intended to detect the presence of microbiological life on the Martian surface. Soil samples were retrieved by the landers’ extendible arms.
Assistant Professor Robert Shriver provided biomass growth modeling. The three are part of the College’s Department of Natural Resources & Environmental Science and Experiment Station. They found that ...
New Biomass satellite will provide an unprecedented look at the planet's forests Monitoring forests will be critical to effective climate mitigation.
We tested whether aboveground vegetation chemistry and productivity, as detected from airborne sensors, predict soil properties, microbial processes and community composition. Imaging spectroscopy ...
Mature forests have a key role to play in the fight against climate change—extracting carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and locking it into new wood, a new study reveals.
In our experiments, even very low light intensities of 0.06 lux were sufficient to elicit a response," explained IGB researcher Dr. Stella Berger, co-author and phytoplankton expert.
