An international group of scientists say there is an immediate need for a global assessment of the nitrogen cycle and its impact on climate. An international group of scientists say there is an ...

A new study shows that nitrogen-feeding organisms exist all over the deep ocean, and not just in large oxygen-depleted 'dead zones,' changing the way we think about the delicate nitrogen cycle.

After more than a decade of research and collaboration, researchers from Michigan Technological University, Baylor University and Boston University have discovered that inland and coastal aquatic ...

The Australian Centre for Plant Functional Genomics is co-funded by the Australian Research Council and the Grains Research and Development Corporation with additional funding from the South ...

Climate change is not only warming the planet and disrupting rainfall, it is also quietly rewiring the way nitrogen moves through the world’s croplands, forests, and grasslands. This hidden shift in ...
