Much of what we know about plant circadian rhythms is the result of laboratory experiments where inputs such as light and temperature can be tightly controlled. Less is known about how these ...

Soil microbiology research increasingly depends on big data. This means that experiments will no longer only mostly be carried out under controlled conditions in the laboratory but will instead move ...

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 ...

Field experiments are conducted, e.g., to explore the environmental effects of crop rotations. Here an experiment aiming at environmental nitrogen management is shown. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert!

A new study has used a series of innovative field experiments to show how plants combine circadian clock signals with environmental cues under naturally fluctuating conditions. Much of what we know ...
