Climate warming can increase plant growth in permafrost regions by lengthening the growing season, speeding up plant ...

AsRon Calhoun, Senior Portfolio Manager for Plant Nutrition at Nutrien Ag Solutions, explains with its three modes of action—N-Finity is elevating how Loveland Products can further nutrient use ...

Fertilizer prices, supply chain snafus and a desire for more flexibility have farmers looking at a variety of different options to fuel their corn crops. Those factors are opening the door for the use ...

The marine nitrogen cycle is crucial to sustaining ocean productivity, with biological nitrogen fixation representing a primary mechanism by which inert atmospheric nitrogen is converted into ...

Nitrogen is vital for all known life. Yet most nitrogen on Earth is in the atmosphere as di-nitrogen gas, which many organisms can’t use. Fortunately, there are microbes that can tap into this ...

I was taken back a significant period of years by the article in C&EN on nitrogen fixation as a potential answer to the massive overuse of fertilizers (July 31, 2023, page 24). The underlying reasons ...

Nitrogen fixation is surprisingly high in the ocean's coastal waters and may play a larger role than expected in carbon dioxide uptake, a new study shows. The findings -- based on thousands of samples ...

The top row of images are CARD-FISH images of UCYN-A haptophyte symbiosis in the Bering Sea. The nitrogen fixing cyanobacteria UCYN-A2 are shown in red and the Haptophyte algae host are shown in blue ...

Most organisms require nitrogen to produce biological molecules, such as nucleotides and amino acids, but until recently, only prokaryotes were known to fix nitrogen from the atmosphere. “It’s a very ...

Scientists have developed a uranium-based complex that allows nitrogen fixation reactions to take place in ambient conditions. The work lays the foundation to develop new processes for synthesizing ...

This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American If you're enjoying this article, consider ...

To reconstruct the C. orbicularis symbiont's metabolism, we sequenced the genome of purified bacteria to provide a basis for subsequent global proteomic analyses. As expected, the symbiont's genome ...
