The understanding of ocean mechanisms in the Arctic is currently experiencing a real turning point. Research conducted by the ...

Nitrogen is a critical limiting element for plant growth and production. It is a major component of chlorophyll, the most important pigment needed for photosynthesis, as well as amino acids, the key ...

A small helper for big tasks: an oxygen sensor protein protects the enzymatic machinery of biological nitrogen fixation from serious damage. Its use in biotechnology could help to reduce the use of ...

A recent study published in National Science Review has estimated the global biological nitrogen fixation from natural ...

Aims Evaluate biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) and its contribution to total N yield in different grass-clover mixtures under a boreal coastal climate and assess how winter conditions affect the ...
