Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) scientists have released a new global, centralized database of plant root traits, or identifying characteristics, that can advance our understanding of how the hidden structure of plants belowground may interact with
Overview Anthropogenic releases and changing environmental conditions profoundly affect the biogeochemical cycling of trace metals such as mercury (Hg).
Exploring potential future climate effects on permafrost using hydrothermal modeling of arctic soils
Effect of Soil property uncertainties on permafrost thaw projections: A calibration-constrained analysis The effects of soil property uncertainties on permafrost thaw projections are studied using computation modeling.
By identifying two genes required for transforming inorganic into organic mercury, which is far more toxic, scientists today have taken a significant step toward protecting human health.
