Southern Hungary, once an important site for agriculture, has become increasingly parched. Some local farmers are fighting ...

By blocking canal sluices to collect repurposed spa water, the “water guardians” successfully transformed a low-lying field ...

Young cacao trees stand in an unlikely spot on the northeastern slopes of the Waianae Range, growing on a windswept point overlooking Oahu’s North Shore.

The dynamics of soil organic carbon (SOC) play a critical role in the global carbon cycle. In context of global warming, ...

My thanks to the European Commission for organizing this important dialogue on water resilience and water security for all. We are united by something far greater than borders: the global hydrological ...

ABSTRACT: Evaluation and understanding of processes affecting atmospheric greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations from the soil surface are critical to mitigating global climate change, particularly from ...

Soils lose moisture quickly during droughts because the molecular interactions that help retain water are not fully understood. Understanding this mechanism can help engineer soils to better preserve ...

Contour planting involves tilling, discing, and otherwise preparing the land in line with its natural slope, then planting crops on this same line. When you look at a topographic map, the rows and/or ...

The water cycle is the path that water follows while moving around the Earth in different states. There are four primary water cycle steps: evaporation, convection, precipitation, and collection of ...

Agriculture plays a key role in global food security, intricately tied to water resources for crop growth. However, navigating the interplay between agriculture and water availability poses challenges ...

Recent modifications in the global water cycle are a significant concern, according to a study conducted by NASA scientists. Over the past two decades, the experts have observed an unprecedented shift ...

Chapman University researchers found that Earth’s plants store 786 km³ of water, with water cycling through them in just 5–18 days—much faster than other water cycle processes. This rapid transit, ...
