Green manure helps with the organic production of horticultural crops
A study published in the journal Biological Agriculture & Horticulture assessed soil nitrogen mineralization through field incubation and analyzed the rate of nitrogen release by commercial fertilizers compared with farmyard manure compost. For the study, a three-year organic crop rotation was set up in a field with sandy loam, with a cover crop of rye and vetch grown over […]

Oak tree adaptation: Trees found to coordinate volume of acorns released each year in an effort to produce better reproductive results
In some years, oaks, beeches, chestnuts, and other woodland trees produce huge numbers of seeds, and in others they are almost barren. This mysterious phenomenon, typically in oak trees, occurs at irregular intervals of five to 10 years. It is called “mast years” or simply mast, which affects the populations of various animals that rely […]

Balance is key: Farmers must maintain soil health to successfully grow both free-range pigs and energy crops
Owning livestock is a huge responsibility. Free-range farmers must ensure that their pigs do not cause permanent harm to the environment. Free-range pig farming is typically associated with a high risk of nitrogen loss in the soil known as leaching, as the pigs cause an uneven distribution of mineral nitrogen in the soil through their […]

New research shows the skin “remembers” injuries, which helps it heal faster the next time
A study from The Rockefeller University reveals that wounds or other harmful experiences caused by inflammation impart long-lasting memories to the stem cells residing in the skin, teaching them to heal subsequent injuries faster. In the study, the researchers discovered that the stem cells deep within the inner layers of our skin, which are responsible for […]

Bacteria-killing virus essential to marine ecosystems may provide insights for understanding the human gut
Bacteria and viruses are microscopic organisms that are found practically everywhere on the planet. Humans even have bacteria thriving inside their bodies. Despite their abundance, many of these microorganisms are yet to be discovered, much less studied. Now, researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine have recently discovered an elusive family […]
