Western Sydney University researchers have discovered that drought-affected wheat plants are able to call on eco-friendly soil bacteria to survive, helping keep crops healthy, boost yields, and provide pathways to develop extreme weather-resistant crops.This post […]
Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) is a widely cultivated cool-season turfgrass and forage species worldwide, thriving best between 15°C and 25°C. Temperatures above 35°C can cause irreversible damage, including premature leaf senescence. Heat-induced leaf senescence reduces […]
In the fight against climate change, tree planting as a natural climate solution is a popular policy and land-use initiative among governmental and conservation organizations. Trees provide additional carbon stocks when planted in treeless agricultural […]
