Biodiversity in forests is under serious threat from human activity and climate change. An international research team has found first evidence that forests which are richer in tree species tend to have a greater…
Researchers at the Technical University of Munich, Germany, have succeeded in producing an important amino acid from the greenhouse gas CO2 by using a type of artificial photosynthesis.
If climate change causes more rain, this promotes the weathering of rocks and thus the erosion of the soil. The dissolved substances reach the sea via rivers. A new model from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon shows that the…
Researchers at ETH Zurich in Switzerland have analysed the bird flu epidemic caused by the H7N9 strain that affected China from 2013 to 2017. New phylogenetic trees will help to improve monitoring of future bird flu…
Cocoa beans can absorb toxic heavy metals such as cadmium from the soil. Especially in South America, some cultivation areas are polluted with these heavy metals. By combining different X-ray fluorescence techniques, for…
Breeding maize with high contents of zinc, iron and provitamin A (PVA) could be effective in mitigating micronutrient deficiency in developing countries with a high reliance on maize-based diets. Information on the mode…
An international team of scientists have just used army ants as a sampling “tool” for plant and animal viruses circulating in a deep forest in Gabon. This innovative approach to viral ecology opens up new avenues for…
To achieve the goals of the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, greater research and improved policy and practices in ecosystem restoration in grasslands, drylands, and mangrove ecosystems – as well as more…
Zimbabwean farmers are poised for greater yield and income gains as a result of a recent agricultural innovation breakthrough – the release of a new hybrid of white sorghum (great millet) that also promises greater…
