Nitrogen shortage limits young tropical forest growth, slowing carbon capture that could help fight climate change.

For many years, scientists believed rising CO₂ levels would help Earth’s plants significantly slow climate change. As carbon ...

CO2 can stimulate plant growth, but only when enough nitrogen is available—and that key ingredient has been seriously ...

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 ...

For decades, climate policy has leaned on a comforting assumption: that as humans emit more carbon dioxide, plants will ...

Climate change also alters nitrogen in soils and plants, shaping food quality, water safety, and pollution risks worldwide.

Global inventory reveals nitrogen is in shorter supply than previously thought in natural areas, which could limit carbon storage in plants and soils. “Outside of some tropical forests and drylands, ...

As the Arctic Ocean loses its sea ice due to climate change, sunlight penetrates deeper into the water and encourages the growth of tiny plant-like organisms (phytoplankton). But to thrive, they need ...

AsRon Calhoun, Senior Portfolio Manager for Plant Nutrition at Nutrien Ag Solutions, explains with its three modes of action—N-Finity is elevating how Loveland Products can further nutrient use ...

Most organisms require nitrogen to produce biological molecules, such as nucleotides and amino acids, but until recently, only prokaryotes were known to fix nitrogen from the atmosphere. “It’s a very ...
