Ethanol helps plants better tolerate heat stress

Pre-treatment with ethanol activates molecular processes that could allow crops to tolerate a warming world. A dose of ethanol, better known as common alcohol, can enable plants to withstand heat stress that might otherwise kill them, biologists have found. This…

A spectral window into plants of the past

Until now, the only way to learn about these traits from herbarium collections has required destroying bits of the precious specimens. But now researchers have developed a fast, nondestructive way of estimating the functional traits of herbarium specimens. The research, offers…

More naturally occurring trees and less clustering could benefit urban forests

A study shows that urban forests tend to group similar tree species together and rely heavily on introduced species, which may decrease resilience and reduce their benefits for people and animals.
