Researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have demonstrated it is possible to provide accurate, high-resolution predictions of carbon cycles in agroecosystems, which could help mitigate the impacts of climate change. The study by scholars was recently published in Nature Communications. Its findings are a critical first step in […] Read more

New study is first step in predicting carbon emissions
Science Notes: Researchers develop process that is 10,000 times faster than current systems

Critical benefits of snowpack diminish for winter wheat
Science Notes: Less snow could see a deep freeze for winter crops
University of Minnesota scientists are partnering with a global team to study the complex effects of climate change on winter crops. Warming winters may sound like a welcome change for some farmers because the change in temperature could reduce freezing stress on plants and create more ideal conditions for growing overwinter cash crops and winter […] Read more
