In the world’s longest-running ecological experiment, researchers found that increasing fertilizer use in agricultural grasslands reduces flower numbers five-fold and halves pollinator populations. Reducing fertilizer boosts biodiversity but lowers yields. A potential solution involves limiting nitrogen while maintaining other nutrients,…

Forensic chemists investigated whether the corpse flower (Amorphophallus titanum) truly mimics human decomposition. Collecting odor samples from the bloom, she compared its chemical profile to forensic data from human remains. Her research explores overlapping compounds, aiding forensic detection and shedding…
