Exploring how plants can adapt to accelerating aridity due to climate change

At a time when climate change is making many areas of the planet hotter and drier, it's sobering to think that deserts are relatively new biomes that have grown considerably over the past 30 million years.

Researchers develop a sustainable two-step process to upcycle organic carbon waste

When nature designed lignin -; the fibrous, woody material that gives plants their rigid structure -; it didn't cut any corners. Incredibly slow to break down, lignin is so sturdy and long lasting that it is resistant to bacteria and rot.
