Soils store carbon, sustain ecosystems, and underpin global food and water systems. A new Frontiers in Science paper details how AI tools can help us adapt soils—and the systems they nurture—to a ...

Be part of answering today’s biggest environmental questions with a soil science graduate degree from UW. UW’s soil science program is small enough to provide students with individual attention and ...

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 coexistence, ...

Heating alone won’t drive soil microbes to release more carbon dioxide — they need added carbon and nutrients to thrive. This finding challenges assumptions about how climate warming influences soil ...

Local ranchers are hoping a soil health experiment will reveal clues about how they can better manage their land under dry conditions as the Colorado River basin continues to struggle under the ...

What is needed for plants to grow? How might you select which plants would be best to reforest a desert? How long do you think it might take to go from a desert to a forest? What positive and negative ...
