White rot fungus boosts ethanol production from corn stalks, cobs and leaves
The latest episode in the American Chemical Society's (ACS') award-winning Global Challenges/Chemistry Solutions podcast series reports new evidence that the so-called white rot fungus shows promise in the search for a way to use waste corn stalks, cobs and leaves - rather than corn itself - to produce ethanol to extend supplies of gasoline.

Protecting ecosystems, pollution remediation goals of research at UH
Cleaning up pollution, protecting soil from erosion and maintaining species-rich ecosystems are some of the goals of a computational ecology project by a University of Houston (UH) scientist and his team. View More (2011-03-07)
Models play important role in understanding extreme weather
Weather is a hot topic here in Interior Alaska and a quick way to get anyone talking. Not a day goes by in winter months without some observations of temperatures, air inversions, or even a mention that the sun budged another degree above the horizon. View More (2007-03-29)
Soil fertility in the tropics can be influenced by landscape and precipitation, study finds
A new study conducted in the Hawaiian Islands has revealed that landscape and erosion play crucial roles in determining soil fertility in tropical ecosystems. View More (2005-07-20)
Microbes, sponges, and worms add to coral reef woes
Microbes, sponges, and worms-the side effects of pollution and heavy fishing-are adding insult to injury in Kenya's imperiled reef systems, according to a recent study by the Wildlife Conservation Society and the University of Azores. View More (2012-08-07)
For land conservation, formal and informal relationships influence success
During the past decade, voluntary contracts called conservation easements have become a popular method for conserving land. View More (2011-11-01)
Growing sorghum for biofuel
Conversion of sorghum grass to ethanol has increased with the interest in renewable fuel sources. Researchers at Iowa State University examined 12 varieties of sorghum grass grown in single and double cropping systems. View More (2010-11-11)
Watching rocks grow: Theory explains landscape of geothermal springs
Scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have successfully modeled the spectacular landscapes seen at geothermal hot springs. View More (2006-07-06)
Ecosystems under threat from ocean acidification
Acidification of the oceans as a result of increasing levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide could have significant effects on marine ecosystems, according to Michael Maguire presenting at the Society for General Microbiology's spring meeting in Edinburgh this week. View More (2010-03-29)
Depression-era drainage ditches emerge as sleeping threat to Cape Cod salt marshes
CAPE Cod, Massachusetts has a problem. The iconic salt marshes of the famous summer retreat are melting away at the edges, dying back from the most popular recreational areas. View More (2013-01-25)
EPA teams with National Geographic Society and World Resources Institute to map ecosystem services
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is collaborating with the National Geographic Society and the World Resources Institute to develop tools that will help to fully account for the value of ecosystem services. View More (2008-10-30)
Fingerprinting Fugitive Dust
Each community of soil microbes has a unique fingerprint that can potentially be used to track soil back to its source, right down to whether it came from dust from a rural road or from a farm field, according to a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) soil scientist. View More (2011-07-22)
The Future of Cover Crops
Winter cover crops are an important component of nutrient cycling, soil cover and organic matter content. Although its benefits are well documented, cover crop use in farming systems is relatively low. Research has shown that time and money are the two primary reasons why farmers are hesitant to adopt the technique. View More (2011-07-14)
Nitrogen retained through loss
The nitrogen cycle plays a major role in seagrass fields. Dutch researcher Arie Vonk studied the nitrogen dynamics of seagrasses in Indonesia. He discovered that the interaction between seagrasses, animals and microorganisms results in an efficient nitrogen cycle in tropical seagrass fields. Consequently the nitrogen lost from seagrasses is still retained. View More (2008-05-23)

Cyclic vomiting syndrome: Recurring and unexplained episodes destroy teeth
Health risks are everywhere and as many as people know about, there are still many of which people are unaware. Parents face even more concerns when it comes to protecting children. Some diseases and problems are more prevalent in children-like cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS). View More (2007-01-12)
A reductionist approach to HIV research
A major obstacle to HIV research is the virus's exquisite specialisation for its human host - meaning that scientists' traditional tools, like the humble lab mouse, can deliver only limited information. View More (2009-12-01)
Media invitation: How many species in Noah's Arc?
Scientists gather in Mallorca (Spain) to assess the role of biodiversity in ecosystem function. The remarkable increase, towards the end of 20th Century in the rate of species extinctions and the loss of biological diversities in the planet's ecosystems have generated considerable concern on the consequences that, beyond the severe damage of the losses themselves, these losses may have on the...

'Non-invasive' cultivar? Buyer beware
Cultivars of popular ornamental woody plants that are being sold in the United States as non-invasive are probably anything but, according to an analysis by botanical researchers published in the October issue of BioScience. View More (2011-10-07)
Special topics in environmental mechanics
With rapid development of economics since the 1980s, people have been increasingly realized that the environment plays an important role in the sustainable development of society and economy. View More (2008-07-01)
