Almost all plants live in close symbiosis with so-called mycorrhizal fungi—an important symbiosis for absorbing essential nutrients. In their new study, a team led by ecologist Christina Kaiser from the Center for Microbiology and Environmental Systems Science (CeMESS) at the University of Vienna has now discovered that this mycorrhizal symbiosis is very sensitive to imbalances of certain nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium) in the soil.

Atmospheric rivers carry unfathomable amounts of water across the sky, bringing moisture to drought-stricken regions like the Western U.S. But whether a particular incoming atmospheric river storm will result in disastrous flooding has long been difficult for researchers to determine with confidence. Now, a new Desert Research Institute-led study demonstrates that accounting for soil saturation levels can substantially improve our early warning of potentially destructive flooding events.

Koreans are moving away from viral sweets and falling in love with healthy seasonal greens. While Dubai chewy cookies, a chocolate treat filled with pistachio cream and crunchy kadayif pastry, recently dominated the nation's tastebuds, the spotlight has abruptly shifted to "bomdong" bibimbap, a dish featuring seasoned cabbage over rice. According to the Korea Agricultural Marketing Information Service (KAMIS), bomdong is a type of spring cabbage primarily cultivated in the southern coastal regions of South Jeolla Province. Its sudden popularity is being fueled by a retro meme involving a 2008 episode of the variety show “2 Days & 1 Night,” where comedian Kang Ho-dong enjoyed a large bowl of the simple dish. A short-form video of this 18-year-old clip has recently surpassed 5 million views and search interest for spring cabbage reached the peak score of 100 on Feb 28 on Google Trends. People in the food industry say this shift is happening because many are tired of unhealthy desserts

arXiv:2602.23953v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Occlusion remains a critical challenge in robotic fruit harvesting, as undetected or inaccurately localised fruits often results in substantial crop losses. To mitigate this issue, we propose a harvesting framework using a new amodal segmentation model, GDA-YOLO11, which incorporates architectural improvements and an updated asymmetric mask loss. The proposed model is trained on a modified version of a public citrus dataset and evaluated on both the base dataset and occlusion-sensitive subsets with varying occlusion levels. Within the framework, full fruit masks, including invisible regions, are inferred by GDA-YOLO11, and picking points are subsequently estimated using the Euclidean distance transform. These points are then projected into 3D coordinates for robotic harvesting execution. Experiments were conducted using real citrus fruits in a controlled environment simulating occlusion scenarios. Notably, to the best of our knowledge,

When it comes to killing invasive mammals in Aotearoa, we're more concerned about environmental harm than animal suffering, a new survey shows. Researchers asked over 4000 people to choose between pest control options based on costs, environmental contamination, pain for target animals, and risks to other animals. Respondents were most concerned about effects on the environment and other animals, but became less concerned about all of the factors if the goal was eradicating rather than suppressing the invasive species. The study authors suggest limiting environmental effects should be the priority for pest eradication tools, and that differences between groups could help in planning local campaigns - like prioritising humane options in urban areas, where people are more concerned about animal suffering.
