Study sheds light on differentiated nitrogen sources of co-occurring epiphytes in Chinese subtropical forests
Epiphytes, including lichens, bryophytes, ferns and spermatophytes, are a large and widely distributed group across many forest ecosystems. Acquiring enough nitrogen (N) to support their life processes in nutrient-poor canopies is a crucial challenge.....»»
Genetically engineering associations between plants and diazotrophs could lessen dependence on synthetic fertilizer
Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for plant growth, but the overuse of synthetic nitrogen fertilizers in agriculture is not sustainable......»»
Exotic tree species in the forest mean loss of grazing land for reindeer
Semi-domesticated reindeer avoid winter habitats with exotic lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta), introduced from Northern America. Reduced food supply and dense stands probably contribute to the reindeers' avoidance behavior of areas with tall P. contor.....»»
Toddler poisoned after eating deadly plant mislabeled as diet supplement
Nine out of 10 Tejocote Root products tested were actually deadly yellow oleander. Enlarge / Yellow oleander. (credit: Getty | FlowerPhotos) Last September, a New Jersey toddler got ahold of a bottle of weight loss supp.....»»
The amount of imported products and meat in the Finnish diet has the most significant impact on global biodiversity loss
A recent study shows that the adverse impact of the current Finnish diet on biodiversity can be reduced by shifting to more plant-based diet. The impact of the current Finnish diet nearly exclusively comes from imported products when using life cycle.....»»
Researchers discover gravitational collapse and accretion flows in hub filament system G323.46-0.08
Hub-filament systems are ubiquitous in molecular clouds. Most dense clumps and cores are formed in filaments and play a key role in star formation process. Therefore, investigating hub-filament system is one of the best ways to understand high-mass s.....»»
Agriculture study on cover crops mixtures delivers unexpected results
Farmers usually plant cover crops after harvesting their main crop. This prevents erosion of the soil and nutrient leaching. The roots of these crops also stabilize the structure of the soil. It had been assumed that a mixture of different cover crop.....»»
Researchers achieve efficient nutrient delivery to crop leaves through nanomaterial surface roughness engineering
A team led by Prof. Wang Guozhong and Zhou Hongjian from the Institute of Solid State Physics (ISSP), Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has successfully utilized surface roughness engineering of sil.....»»
New research sheds light on how harmful fungi could become helpful and reduce food waste
Mold and diseases caused by fungi can greatly impact the shelf life of fruit and vegetables. However, some fungi benefit their hosts by aiding plant survival. Colletotrichum tofieldiae (Ct) is a root mold that typically supports continued plant devel.....»»
Saturday Citations: Ancient corvids, tetraquarks, and researchers who aren"t bored hearing about your dreams
This week, researchers reported on two-dimensional gold sheets, a tidy little meson made of four quarks (and its buddy!) and a big and almost unimaginably dense exoplanet with an exciting backstory......»»
Stoichiometric mismatch between phytoplankton and zooplankton under climate warming and eutrophication
The aquatic ecosystem functioning is at risk of being disrupted by the stoichiometric mismatch between phytoplankton and zooplankton. When climate warming or eutrophication acted individually, the increase in nutrient demand for zooplankton growth re.....»»
Dense Neptune-sized exoplanet discovered with TESS
Using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), an international team of astronomers has discovered a new massive and dense exoplanet. The newfound alien world, designated TOI-332 b, is one of the densest Neptune-sized planets known to dat.....»»
Liver-targeting drug delivered via nanogel carrier reverses obesity, lowers cholesterol in mice
A University of Massachusetts Amherst biomedical engineer has used a nanogel-based carrier designed in his lab to deliver a drug exclusively to the liver of obese mice, effectively reversing their diet-induced disease......»»
Yeast studies show that diet in early life may positively affect lifelong health
Researchers at the Babraham Institute are proposing an alternative link between diet and aging based on studies in yeast. Dr. Jon Houseley and his team's experiments show that healthy aging is achievable through dietary change without restriction by.....»»
FTX founder Bankman-Fried living on bread and water, lawyer says
A vegan diet requested by Sam Bankman-Fried is not being provided in prison, a judge was told......»»
Wildfires contribute to nutrient-rich, murky water in lakes
Warmer temperatures and increasing drought severity associated with climate change are contributing to more frequent and more severe wildfires across North America......»»
Grow-your-own households eat more fruit and vegetables while wasting less, research suggests
Household fruit and vegetable production, in allotments and gardens, could be key to a healthy and food-secure population, a new study from the University of Sheffield has found......»»
Heat sensor protects the Venus flytrap from fire
The Venus flytrap can survive in the nutrient-poor swamps of North and South Carolina because it compensates for the lack of nitrogen, phosphate and minerals by catching and eating insects. It hunts with snap traps that have sensory hairs on them. If.....»»
Whale shark health relies on habitat, diet—and the right mix of microbes
Loss of habitat and human activities such as fishing and shipping pose a grave threat to wildlife but diseases driven by the smallest organisms in the ocean are a less understood side of marine conservation......»»
Study indicates agriculture adds more phosphorus to streams than to lakes
Phosphorus is an important nutrient, but too much of it in lakes and streams can diminish water quality and lead to eutrophication, resulting in harmful algal blooms and dead zones. To restore waterways degraded by excess phosphorus, decision-makers.....»»
