Lignocellulose-degrading enzyme complexes could improve biofuel production.
Advanced medical imaging techniques monitor real-time transport of radioisotopes through soil and waste forms.
More frequent storms turn forests from carbon source to sink.
Monoterpene measures how certain forests respond to heat stress.
Whether carbon comes from leaves or needles affects how fast it decomposes, but where it ends up determines how long it’s available.
Stress-induced embolisms that interrupt water transport are a universal component of tree mortality.
A new class of plant-specific genes required for flowering control in temperate grasses is found.
Demonstrating the microfluidic-based, mini-metagenomics approach on samples from hot springs shows how scientists can delve into microbes that can’t be cultivated in a laboratory.
