The results of this study are consistent with the idea that the stress of chronic salinity exposure changes tree leaf shape and function, weakening their physiology and setting in motion processes that lead to death.
Scientists used a new analysis approach—coupled laser ablation sampling and capillary absorption spectroscopy—to gather more information on how the rhizosphere processes carbon.
Sue Southard's one thousand dives as a PNNL staff member leave a ripple effect on efforts to keep our ocean healthy, our economy thriving, and our waters safe.
Mowei Zhou, a chemist with the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory, is speaking at the ACS spring conference on his latest protein discoveries for a plant that could transform biofuels production.
A new PNNL study quantifies hydropower's contribution to grid stability. When other power sources go out, hydropower can ramp up, recoup shortfalls, and stabilize the grid nearly instantaneously.
Sagadevan Mundree, director of the Queensland University of Technology Centre for Agriculture and the Bioeconomy, is joining PNNL as a joint appointee.
Clarivate Analytics recently unveiled its 2020 list of Highly Cited Researchers. The list named 17 PNNL scientists for their influential and oft-referenced work.
Like a toxic Trojan horse, microplastics can act as hot pockets of contaminant transport. But, can microplastics get into plant cells? Recent research shows that they can't.
Plant scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have garnered the most comprehensive—and first ever—genetic level dataset of the rooting process in a flowering model grass.
PNNL microbial ecologist Janet Jansson will serve on a committee representing the U.S. soil science community in the International Union of Soil Sciences.
A PNNL study that evaluated the use of friction stir technology on stainless steel has shown that the steel resists erosion more than three times that of its unprocessed counterpart.
