The regulation of the biological fixation of nitrogen in hydric stress conditions varies with the different species of legume plants studied. Nitrogen is the most abundant element in the terrestrial ...

When we think of the atmosphere and its necessity in sustaining life, we are thinking of oxygen and for plants, carbon dioxide. There is another chemical, though, a clear, odorless and tasteless gas ...

The marine nitrogen cycle is crucial to sustaining ocean productivity, with biological nitrogen fixation representing a primary mechanism by which inert atmospheric nitrogen is converted into ...

Nitrogen is vital for all known life. Yet most nitrogen on Earth is in the atmosphere as di-nitrogen gas, which many organisms can’t use. Fortunately, there are microbes that can tap into this ...

The understanding of ocean mechanisms in the Arctic is currently experiencing a real turning point. Research conducted by the ...

Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) is a key ecological process that can restore nitrogen (N) lost in wildfire and shape the pace and pattern of post-fire forest recovery. To date, there is limited ...

A new research initiative led by associate professor of bacteriology Betül Kaçar is positioned to transform agriculture and address some of the world’s most pressing ecological and economic challenges ...

Massive Sargassum blooms sweeping across the Caribbean and Atlantic are fueled by a powerful nutrient partnership: phosphorus ...

The regulation of the biological fixation of nitrogen in hydric stress conditions varies with the different species of legume plants studied. This was the conclusion of Ruben Ladrera Fernández in his ...

Ever wanted to produce nitrogen fertilizer like they did in the 1900s? In that case, you’re probably looking at the Birkeland-Eyde process, which was the first industrial-scale atmospheric nitrogen ...

Scientists at the University of California, Davis, have developed wheat plants that stimulate the production of their own fertilizer, opening the path toward less air and water pollution worldwide and ...
