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 ...

A workshop was organized to envision a Dynamic Soil Information System. Such a system would overlay important chemical, physical, and biological information about soil samples taken across a wide ...

Summer heat pushes gardens into survival mode, and water bills often climb right along with temperatures. A drip irrigation system offers a smart way to deliver moisture directly to plant roots ...

New tree-by-tree soil moisture technology combines robotics, sensors, and data analytics to help growers optimize irrigation, conserve water, and improve crop productivity amid mounting drought ...

The topic of food security and sustainable agricultural systems is a crucial one, particularly as environmental degradation escalates. “Recently, organic agricultural systems have drawn much attention ...

To make sure buildings and infrastructure are increasingly earthquake-safe, engineers must understand how seismic activity affects different structures. A new era in large-scale earthquake engineering ...

Emory environmentals scientist combined field-level data with machine-learning techniques to estimate soil organic carbon at the U.S. scale, another step toward providing more accurate baseline data ...

New study reveals how AI can enhance soil science, improving predictions and supporting sustainable land-use and climate adaptation strategies.

Modern crops are often excessively fertilized, which boost yields in the short term but also harms the environment due to nutrient runoffs and greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, fertilizers are ...

The nonprofit Climate Farmers, an early architect of Europe’s soil carbon credit system, has surprised the regenerative agriculture world by walking away from carbon markets. “We’re stepping away from ...
