Cornell University researchers and collaborators have developed a framework that allows scientists to predict crop yield without the need for enormous amounts of high-quality data that are often scarce in […] Read more
Satellite images of plants’ fluorescence can predict crop yields
Science Notes: Information could help make policy decisions, establishing crop insurance, even forecast areas of poverty
Microbes key to sequestering carbon in soil
Science Notes: Research is first to measure the relative importance of microbial processes in soil carbon cycle
Microbes are by far the most important factor in determining how much carbon is stored in the soil, according to a new study with implications for mitigating climate change and […] Read more
