Bacterial speck is a common disease that affects tomatoes and can result in lower yields for growers. A new study led by ...

Walk into any garden center and you will find shelves packed with products labeled as "organic soil boosters," "natural ...

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 ...

Bacteria have long been a key source of lifesaving antibiotics, but most species cannot be grown in the lab—leaving their ...

From a distance, Biosphere 2 emerges from the cacti and creosote of the Sonoran desert like a gleaming oasis, a colony of ...

New research shows that warming alone won’t make soils release extra carbon - microbes need the right nutrients to fuel emissions.

Most bacteria cannot be cultured in the lab-and that's been bad news for medicine. Many of our frontline antibiotics ...

Biochar, made from plant waste, can restore carbon in fragile pasture soils, boost fertility, and support climate resilience.

Schematic diagram of the role of the circadian clock of plants affecting the composition and ecological function of bacterial ...

Soils with a variety of microplastics may allow microbes that perform denitrification processes to thrive; this could cause ...

Higher temperatures combined with added carbon – and added nutrients – led to higher carbon dioxide levels released from the ...

Most bacteria cannot be cultured in the lab—and that's been bad news for medicine. Many of our frontline antibiotics originated from microbes, yet as ...
