Trees are known for absorbing CO2. But microbes in their bark also absorb other climate-active gases, methane, hydrogen, and ...

Optimizing tree architecture is a long-standing challenge in fruit production, as branch orientation directly affects light ...

Researchers from Purdue University's Department of Computer Science and Institute for Digital Forestry, with collaborator Sören Pirk at Kiel University in Germany, have found that artificial ...

A research team has discovered that artificial intelligence can simulate tree growth and shape. The DNA molecule encodes both tree shape and environmental response in one tiny, subcellular package. In ...

Life on Earth relies upon an astonishingly short list of elements. Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen compose the essential ...

The basics of photosynthesis are something that every student learns in school: carbon dioxide, water and light in; oxygen and sugar for growth out. In a world where atmospheric carbon dioxide levels ...

A team of scientists at two Department of Energy Bioenergy Research Centers have identified a gene in a poplar tree that enhances photosynthesis and can boost tree height by about 30 percent in the ...

Answer: It is a miracle, isn’t it? A small seed can grow into a mighty oak tree. That tiny seed has all the genetic code, directions, and information to become an exquisite tree with its roots, trunk ...

Justin Higginbottom / JPR In dense forests off I-5 in Josephine County, Oregon, up a few miles of winding dirt roads, a handful of tents, a hammock and an acoustic guitar mark the camp of those ...
