Be part of answering today’s biggest environmental questions with a soil science graduate degree from UW. UW’s soil science program is small enough to provide students with individual attention and ...

Heating alone won’t drive soil microbes to release more carbon dioxide — they need added carbon and nutrients to thrive. This finding challenges assumptions about how climate warming influences soil ...

The cause-effect sequence or "feedback" between plants and their soil microbial communities plays an important role in structuring plant communities. To predict this synergistic coexistence, ...

"Soil Your Undies" sounds like the latest, grossest internet challenge to make the social media rounds. But it's actually a ...

The ground beneath our feet is exhaling. Steadily and without pause, through a process called soil respiration, plant roots and microbes release carbon dioxide (CO 2) into the atmosphere. In one cited ...

Local ranchers are hoping a soil health experiment will reveal clues about how they can better manage their land under dry conditions as the Colorado River basin continues to struggle under the ...

What is needed for plants to grow? How might you select which plants would be best to reforest a desert? How long do you think it might take to go from a desert to a forest? What positive and negative ...

Local governments can cut costs, reduce emissions and build resilience by treating excavated soil as a resource.

Ecologists have measured plant-soil feedbacks for six perennial prairie grass species in a short-term greenhouse study, and say their findings do not match outcomes observed in long-term experiment ...

LOGAN, UTAH, USA – The cause-effect sequence or “feedback” between plants and their soil microbial communities plays an important role in structuring plant communities. To predict this synergistic ...
