Simple treatments may reduce inflammation and its side effects when expecting cows
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain According to researchers at Pennsylvania’s University of Agricultural Sciences, the transition period when cows give birth and begin milk production from the late stages of pregnancy is one of the most difficult times in cow’s life. Physiological changes such as higher systemic inflammation can lead to negative effects, such as lower health and lower milk production.…

Advanced algorithms reduce land cover classification errors in landslide analysis.
Land cover changes in hilltop areas. Credit: Renata Pacheco Quevedo/INPE Land use and land cover (LULC) analysis is becoming increasingly important in environmental research as it has a direct impact on the environment. Changes in LULC not only increase the susceptibility of landscapes to hazardous phenomena, but also affect ecological and climate balance. However, one of the key challenges when…

Mixed forests can reduce the risk of forest damage in warm climates
According to extensive data analyzed by researchers, mixed forests reduce damage to trees. Credit: Jan Bengtsson Forests with few tree species are at much greater risk of damage, and introduced lodgepole pines are particularly vulnerable. This is the result of a new study published in Ecosphere by researchers from Umeå University and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (Uppsala). The…
