Vegetation biomass on grasslands increases in response to elevated carbon dioxide levels, but less than expected. 

A new study published in Global Change Biology and coauthored by researchers from UT, explores how climate, evolution, plants, and soils are linked.

Scientists have found a new way to control light emitted by exotic crystal semiconductors, which could lead to more efficient solar cells and other advances in electronics, according to a Rutgers-led study in the journal Materials Today.

Refined techniques for laser imaging of shell growth rings are tapping into previously hidden data of marine climate change.
