Future explorers on Mars would just need to apply pressure to compact the soil—the equivalent of a blow from a hammer—to make bricks

The research team took a close look at a 2012-2013 drought and flood cycle that affected much of the Midwestern U.S., leading to a nitrogen spike in surface water

Masdar Institute’s novel three-in-one treatment method removes over 90 percent of zinc and 60 percent of copper from biosolids, creating a high-value fertilizer for UAE’s soils and agriculture industry

Researchers have shown how the community of bacteria present in the soil of land that had been cleared and grazed for 100 years was returned to its natural state just eight years after revegetation with native plants

Deeper soil layers more sensitive to warming than previously thought, Berkeley Lab scientists find

Research team finds that the amount of carbon deposited into the soil was affected by the species of grass and how it was mown

Rutgers’ Jeffra Schaefer helped conduct study on the potential impact of climate change and rising methylmercury levels on the marine food web

With a warming climate battering the coast with more severe storms, the research suggests that, to protect coastal communities, managers may want to give weight to the virtues of the non-native species.

"The activity of microorganisms in soil has the potential to alleviate or worsen climate change, so we need to form predictions regarding their activities,” researcher says

In a new study, researchers used digital techniques to predict how one vital soil characteristic, soil organic carbon, may be altered by climate change
