Soils store carbon, sustain ecosystems, and underpin global food and water systems. A new Frontiers in Science paper details how AI tools can help us adapt soils—and the systems they nurture—to a ...
The cause-effect sequence or "feedback" between plants and their soil microbial communities plays an important role in structuring plant communities. To predict this synergistic coexistence, ...
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 ...
Fig. 2: Modeling performance of the Gradient Boosting Machine (GBM), the Random Forest (RF), and the Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) with feature selection. Fig. 3: Relative importance of explanatory ...
To study soil with a view to ecosystems, researchers iterate between experiments in the lab, the field and controlled environments. Soil harbors worlds of life: earthworms and nematodes, mites and ...
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 ...
It's easy to overlook the soil beneath our feet, or to think of it as just dirt to be cleaned up. But soil wraps the world in an envelope of life: It grows food, regulates the climate and makes the ...
High school earth science student, Victoria Feria-Ortiz, observes soil properties in preparation for developing a research question. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the ...
Ecologists have measured plant-soil feedbacks for six perennial prairie grass species in a short-term greenhouse study, and say their findings do not match outcomes observed in long-term experiment ...
