New research reveals how heatwaves and drought together can rapidly and irreversibly damage flowers through a process called runaway cavitation.

Research found that combining native prairie plants and Sedum species on green roofs enhances stormwater capture, cooling, and thermal insulation compared to using Sedum alone.

The parasitic dodder weed doesn't just sap soybean's strength alone - it lets in fungal gatecrashers like Alternaria too, despite soybean's attempts to biochemically barricade its roots with flavonoids.
