Can Trees and Microbes Clean Up Pollution? What Field Trials Show

October 4, 2023 Science Chronicle

Field trials reveal how trees and microbes can help treat pollution, and why capture, chemical breakdown and containment mean different things.

What a Long-Term Field Study Shows About Cover Crops and Soil Water

October 4, 2023 Science Chronicle

A long-running winter-rye experiment helps explain how cover crops can change soil water. The result is evidence for a particular system, not a guaranteed financial return.

Why a Wildfire Can Affect Water Long After the Flames Are Gone

October 4, 2023 Science Chronicle

Field measurements show how storms can carry material from burned watersheds into streams. Water quantity and water quality need separate investigation.

Why Saving Water in a Vertical Farm Does Not Settle Its Energy Footprint

October 3, 2023 Science Chronicle

Indoor growing can conserve water and land while requiring electricity. Original comparisons show why the crop, energy source and accounting boundary matter.

Do Cleaner Fish Behave Differently When a Partner Can See Them?

October 3, 2023 Science Chronicle

Cleaner-fish experiments reveal flexible responses to partners and barriers, while leaving room for more than one explanation of the behavior.

How Ducks Stay Dry: Feathers, Preening and Water Repellency

January 1, 2023 Science Chronicle

Feather structure, surface chemistry and preening help ducks shed water. Learn what the evidence shows and how to observe plumage without disturbing wildlife.

Why Holiday Cacti Bloom: The Science of Long Nights and Growing Conditions

January 1, 2023 Science Chronicle

Holiday cacti respond to light, temperature and water. Explore why starting a flower bud differs from developing it into an open bloom.

Why Warming Can Move Some Marine Species in an Unexpected Direction

January 1, 2023 Science Chronicle

For bottom-dwelling animals, the timing and transport of larvae can matter as much as adult habitat. Original research challenges a simple northward-migration story.

Why “Forever Chemicals” Persist, and What Breaking Them Down Requires

January 1, 2023 Science Chronicle

PFAS persistence is a chemistry problem, but capture and destruction are different goals. A laboratory breakdown study illustrates both progress and limits.

Why Cultivated Strawberries Have Eight Chromosome Sets

January 1, 2023 Science Chronicle

Cultivated strawberries have eight chromosome sets, but that does not mean eight identical copies of every gene. Understand the count, hybrid history and limits of the claim.
