CO2 can stimulate plant growth, but only when enough nitrogen is available—and that key ingredient has been seriously ...

For many years, scientists believed rising CO₂ levels would help Earth’s plants significantly slow climate change. As carbon dioxide increased in the atmosphere, plants were expected to grow faster ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - While proving a long-held theory that suberin blocks water and nutrient absorption in plants, a Purdue University scientist learned more about manipulating the substance to ...

Considered natural allies against climate change due to their absorption of carbon dioxide, plants may however offer more ...

The rapidly rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere affect plants' absorption of nitrogen, which is the nutrient that restricts crop growth in most terrestrial ecosystems. Researchers at the ...

Scientists have captured the process of plants “breathing” in real time using a camera, marking a significant scientific ...

Terrestrial plants (land based plants) are removing about 29 percent of our emissions that would otherwise contribute to growth of the atmospheric CO2 concentration. What Lucas Cernusak, ...

Plants ignore the most energy-rich part of sunlight because stability matters more than efficiency, according to a new model of photosynthesis. From large trees in the Amazon jungle to houseplants to ...

While proving a long-held theory that suberin blocks water and nutrient absorption in plants, a scientist learned more about manipulating the substance to better feed plants. While proving a long-held ...
