In their short time on Earth, grasses have found a place on virtually every landscape on earth where rocks and soil are exposed, and are the dominant plant form on nearly half of the planet’s land surface. In the garden, it’s a helpful understanding to realize how delicately grasses ...
A tropical rainforest is a luxuriant forest found in wet tropical uplands and lowlands near the Equator. Tropical rainforests are dominated by broad-leaved trees that form a dense upper canopy and contain a wide array of vegetation and other life. Worldw
Taiga, biome composed mainly of cone-bearing needle-leaved or scale-leaved evergreen trees, found in northern circumpolar regions typified by long winters and moderate to high annual precipitation. Taiga, ‘land of the little sticks’ in Russian, is name
Predator insects migrate, and fungi or bacteria wash off of plants into streams and rivers. Consequently, crop growers need more practical and effective solutions.One relatively recent solution has been to genetically engineer crops to express plant lipases that have insecticidal properties. Until now,...
