Possible cosmic defect may be a window into the early universe
An unusual cold spot in the oldest radiation in the universe, the cosmic microwave background, may be caused by a cosmic defect created just after the Big Bang, a Spanish and U.K. research team has found. view more (2007-10-26)
Scientists discover possible cosmic defect, remnant from Big Bang
Scientists from the Institute of Physics of Cantabria (IFCA) and the University of Cambridge may have discovered an example of a cosmic defect, a remnant from the Big Bang called a texture. view more (2007-10-26)
Soil Carbon Storage is Not Always Influenced by Tillage Practices
The practice of no-till has increased considerably during the past 20 yr. Soils under no-till usually host a more abundant and diverse biota and are less prone to erosion, water loss, and structural breakdown than tilled soils. view more (2009-02-26)
Researchers Find That Cattle Tuberculosis Remains in Fields For Up to 4 Months
Researchers from the University of Warwick's Department of Biological Sciences have found evidence that bovine tuberculosis remains in fields for up to 4 months. This means that long after an outbreak of bovine TB on a farm healthy cattle may still be exposed to the disease from pasture that had been used by infected cows any time in the previous... view more...

Groundbreaking research in Scotland
A £5.85 million pound study of the soil in the Cheviot Hills has finally come to an end, producing a huge wealth of new information for scientists. view more (2004-03-31)
More market less poverty, but also more sustainable land use?
During empirical research in Benin, Dutch-sponsored researcher Esa√Ře Gandonou demonstrated that farmers in underdeveloped parts of developing countries make little extra effort to control soil erosion if the market to which they sell their products becomes more accessible. view more (2006-02-16)
Scientists find stem cell switch
Scientists have discovered how plant stem cells in roots detect soil structure and whether it is favourable for growth. view more (2007-07-27)
Impact of Floods on Soils
A recent study conducted in the Midwestern United States examined the effects of harsh wet conditions on both cultivated and uncultivated soils, vastly advancing the knowledge of water's effects on aggregation. view more (2009-04-09)
Pathogenic soil bacterium is influenced by land management practices
Researchers from Menzies School of Health Research in Darwin, Australia have found that the soil bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei, which causes the emerging infectious disease melioidosis in humans and animals, is associated with land management changes such as livestock husbandry or residential gardening. view more (2009-01-21)
Radioactive waste – no problem for metal-munching bacteria
A harmless soil bacterium, which can survive high-level exposures to gamma radiation, is being developed to clean up land contaminated with radioactive waste, experts heard today (Wednesday 12 September 2001) at the bi-annual meeting of the Society of General Microbiology at the University of East Anglia. US government researcher Dr. Michael Daly... view more... (2001-09-07)
Finding the key to a healthy environment
It is often said that "you are what you eat", but how far is your health affected by where you live? It has been known for some time that an excess (or deficiency) of a particular element in the local soil or water can cause illness, often exacerbated in communities that depend on locally grown produce. Local pollution also constitutes a health... view more... (2001-03-12)
Snails snack on poison metals
SOILS tainted with heavy metals from industrial pollution and sewage sludge may poison organisms that live in the soil far more readily than thought. The finding raises fears that unexpectedly high levels of toxins are getting into the food chain. Contaminated soils are given hazard ratings that are based on the key assumption that organisms can... view more... (2002-12-18)
Great wines come from great soils
The world's greatest wines are the result of a threefold synergy among grape variety, human input, and something called the "terroir" -- a term often defined as the vineyard site, soil, and climate. view more (2009-11-04)
Will Large Amounts of Soil Carbon be Released to the Atmosphere if Grasslands are Converted to Energy Crops?
Grasslands in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) in the United States may be increasingly converted to growing bioenergy grain crops. view more (2009-02-17)
Illinois Soil Nitrogen Test Measures Microbial Nitrogen
Contrary to the prevailing view, cereal crops derive the majority of their nitrogen from the soil, not fertilizer. view more (2009-05-12)
Can biofuels be sustainable?
With oil prices skyrocketing, the search is on for efficient and sustainable biofuels. Research published this month in Agronomy Journal examines one biofuel crop contender: corn stover. view more (2008-08-20)
Agricultural soil erosion not contributing to global warming, study shows
Agricultural soil erosion is not a source of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, according to research published online in Science. view more (2007-10-26)
Nitrous Oxide Emissions Respond Differently to No-Till Depending on the Soil Type
The practice of no-till has increased considerably during the past 20 yr. The absence of tillage coupled with the accumulation of crop residues at the soil surface modifies several soil properties but also influence nitrogen dynamics. view more (2008-10-23)
Where Have All the Students Gone?
Why are the number of students studying soil science as a major declining across the United States? view more (2008-11-04)
Answering that age-old lament: Where does all this dust come from?
Where does it come from? Scientists in Arizona are reporting a surprising answer to that question, which has puzzled and perplexed generations of men and women confronted with layers of dust on furniture and floors. view more (2009-10-29)
