Despite a breadth of research on carbon accrual and persistence in soils, scientist lack a strong, general understanding of the mechanisms through which soil organic carbon (SOC) is destabilized in soils. In a new review article, researcher

How irrigation water is managed affects the Indian Summer Monsoon’s rainfall and its extremes.

Soil microbial communities are made of networks of interacting species that dynamically reorganize in a changing environment. Understanding how such microbiomes are organized in nature is important for designing or controlling them in the f

Soil microbiomes are among the most diverse microbial communities on Earth. They also play an immense role in cycling soil carbon, nitrogen, and other nutrients that underpin the terrestrial food web.

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Kansas State University found that soil drying significantly affected the structure and function of soil microbial communities.

Researchers from PNNL modeled aerosols on a 1-kilometer scale—on par with clouds—for the first time in a global climate model using the new multi-scale modeling framework.

Small increases in irrigated and rainfed crop production across regions where water remains plentiful could help keep food shelves stocked worldwide.

A new data system—gcamdata—with its robust, clear, and easy-to-use application, was developed to be applied to a variety of Global Change Assessment Model scenarios.

Agent-based models of water resource management can include the interaction between human-engineered systems and natural processes

Research software aims to formulate an accurate way to explore feedbacks among socioeconomics, Earth system changes, and crop yield changes

Field campaign data from the U.S. Southern Great Plains are helping to improve model representations of these small yet influential clouds.

Scientists demonstrated a direct link between tropical rainfall intensity and spatial distribution of surface moist entropy.
