Plants survive climate change using genetic variations. Scientists studied Marchantia polymorpha to find key adaptation ...

As climate change accelerates, plants face mounting pressure to adapt to shifting ecosystems and environmental conditions.

Earth systems models are an important tool for studying complex processes occurring around the planet, such as those in and between the atmosphere and biosphere, and they help researchers and ...

A vast field of tall, skinny trees sways in a light breeze. In the future, poplar trees in a scene like this could be a ...

Next the researchers are working on soybeans and cowpeas; the latter is “a hugely important food-security crop in African ...

Some DIY options are modular, allowing you to add more space for plants as your needs change, and others have variable heights with lights that raise or lower throughout the grow cycle.

For one, alpine plants grow slowly over a long period ... using their better-adapted skills to outcompete the alpine plants for water and space. With climate change, precipitation levels will also ...

A Stanford-led study has identified key genetic pathways in corn that help its roots branch out to find water in soil; the varieties adapted to temperate regions like the U.S. corn belt showed large ...
