Database uses satellite data to help farmers boost productivity
Could conservation land be a good candidate for biomass production?
Changes in vegetation could have consequences for many ecological services we depend on
Mitigating climate change reduces ozone stress and increases crop biomass
Climate change poses a threat to food security. Therefore, the objectives of this work are: to provide information on the influence of climate on pasture production and the behavior of new varieties introduced in grazing ecosystems. A characterization of forage production was carried out in Latin...
