The analytical method provides new insight into the impact of agriculture on insect decline
In homogenous habitats such as fields, insect communities can be recorded more rapidly and completely than diverse, close-natural habitats. Credit: Sophia Hochrein/Universität Würzburg New research by Julius Masimilians and Werzburg shows that the impact on agricultural insect diversity is more severe than previously thought. It has long been known that agriculture contributes to lower insect biodiversity. Host plant loss, frequent…

New research highlights global motivations, threats to agriculture
Credit: CC0 Public Domain The long-term shift to arid conditions is to reconstruct the landscape and livelihoods around the world. This gradual aridity trend, known as a motivation, currently affects 2.3 billion people and 40% of the Earth’s land, and is often referred to as the Great Plains, which are from California’s Central Valley, particularly in the United States, to…

Enhanced weathering can transform US agriculture for atmospheric removal
The advantages of surface ozone and weathering enhancement for crop production. Credit: Nature (2025). doi:10.1038/s41586-024-08429-2 The new study is the practice of implementing enhanced weathering (EW) and adding crushed basalts to the soil, and by US agriculture, the company will remove 16-300 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year by 2050. It has been revealed that it will rise…

Geoengineering strategies against climate change could have a positive impact on agriculture
Difference in annual production (yield x planted area) between ARISE-SAI-1.5 and SSP2-4.5 for CLM5 crops (in million tons). Rice (a) and wheat (b) production is averaged from 2050 to 2069. Hatching indicates that the difference between the two experiments is not significant. India’s total rice and wheat production time series (c). Shading represents the range corresponding to one standard deviation.…
