Farmers try controlled drainage to keep water, nutrients in place
2015-05-18 22:51:00| Corn & Soybean Digest
Imagine a controlled water system that could take away 67% of your yield risk. "I can't make it rain, but I can do my best to capture and keep what I have to use it for my crops," says Arliss Nielsen, a Wright County, Iowa, no-tiller. This year he took the unusual step of venturing into controlled drainage. read more

Dissecting the ocean's unseen waves to learn where the heat, energy and nutrients go
2015-05-11 07:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Beyond the pounding surf loved by novelists and beachgoers alike, the ocean contains rolling internal waves beneath the surface that displace massive amounts of water and push heat and vital nutrients up from the deep ocean. Internal waves have long been recognized as essential components of the ocean's nutrient cycle, and key to how oceans will store and distribute additional heat brought on by global warming. Yet, scientists have not until now had a thorough understanding of how internal waves...
New field strips save nutrients
2015-04-06 16:35:00| Corn & Soybean Digest
Conservation prairie strips improve surface runoff water quality, but not tile drainage. When it comes to conservation, small prairie strips make a big difference in surface runoff. And not just any strips: ones designed, contoured and placed according to scientific criteria developed over seven years by Iowa State University (ISU) researchers. read more

Microbes in the seafloor: Little nutrients, lots of oxygen
2015-03-16 11:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] About one quarter of the global seafloor is extremely nutrient poor. Contrary to previous assumptions, it contains oxygen not just in the thin surface layer, but also throughout its entire thickness. The underlying basement rocks contain oxygen as well. An international research team made these new discoveries through analysis of drill cores from the South Pacific Gyre. In the latest issue of Nature Geoscience the scientists also point out the potential effects on th…
