U.S. agricultural systems are world leaders in the production of food, fuel and fiber. 

Just how much carbon is in the soil?

A new study explores large-scale relationships between vegetation and climatic characteristics using machine learning. The findings highlight the importance of climatic extremes in shaping the distribution of several major vegetation types.

In a field of winter wheat, researchers at the University of Reading's Sonning farm in the UK had planted an unusual fumigation system: eight 8-meter octagons surrounding clusters of black mustard plants.

Results of the new study showed that the farms practicing regenerative agriculture had healthier soils

The researchers found that what’s happening beneath the surface is indeed clearly correlated with above-ground plant traits.

With rising global demand for agricultural commodities for use as food, feed, and bioenergy, pressure on land is increasing. 

Forest fires can have a significant effect on the amount of water flowing in nearby rivers and streams, and the impact can continue even years after the smoke clears.

No matter which of the widely accepted global circulation models ultimately comes closest to predicting the amount of warming caused by climate change, corn production will be reduced, according to a new study by Penn State researchers.
