According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 10 million people contract tuberculosis (TB) each year. It is one of the deadliest infectious diseases worldwide. Treatment is lengthy and typically involves a combination of several antibiotics over many months. Drug-resistant strains are particularly problematic because the antibiotics used against them are only partially effective. New compounds capable of overcoming existing resistance are urgently needed.

Microorganisms regulate key processes in soils and aquifers, including nutrient cycling, carbon turnover and contaminant degradation. Many bacteria use chemotaxis, the ability to sense and swim toward chemical signals, to locate nutrient-rich hotspots. However, natural subsurface environments are highly heterogeneous, containing complex pore networks that create strong variations in fluid flow and nutrient availability. How these physical conditions influence bacterial foraging has remained poorly understood.

In a discovery as broad and far-reaching as the Big Muddy itself, a new Yale–led study says farmers in the Mississippi River Basin are storing more carbon dioxide (CO2) in the soil than they emit when they add limestone to their fields, an agricultural practice known as "liming."

New research in Plants, People, Planet demonstrates how precision agriculture techniques involving drones and sensor-based irrigation can save water needed to produce tomatoes and grapes while also improving the quality of these crops.

Grassland plants transfer large amounts of carbon to soil through their roots, and most of that carbon is stored underground. Therefore, promoting soil carbon storage can help combat climate change. Grazers feed on grassland plants, and conventional wisdom often assumes that removing grazers benefits carbon storage, but a new study in Global Change Biology Communications reveals that the opposite may be the case.

Beneath every scorched European heathland lies an invisible workforce: saprotrophic fungi that decompose dead plant material, recycle nutrients, and keep ecosystems running. As climate change pushes summer soil temperatures ever higher, scientists have wondered how these microscopic decomposers cope when a heatwave strikes. A new experimental study, published in the journal Microbial Ecology, offers one […]

arXiv:2609.25725v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agricultural robotics is advancing rapidly, yet progress remains constrained by limited field access, lack of control over field conditions, geographic variability, and seasonal crop cycles. These factors make it difficult and costly to acquire diverse agricultural datasets, resulting in limited evaluation and reduced system robustness. While other robotics domains have scaled learning and evaluation through high-fidelity simulation, agricultural robotics still lacks comparably capable tools. In this paper, we present a ROS-integrated framework, built on Isaac Sim, for large-scale procedural generation of agricultural environments. The framework supports photorealistic rendering, physics simulation, and domain randomization at scales relevant to robotics research, with built-in support for row crops, orchards, and vineyards and straightforward extensibility to additional crop categories.

arXiv:2609.25657v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We increasingly use machine learning to label scientific datasets. The models we develop and deploy are improving all the time, but they are not and will likely never be perfect. Mistakes matter, as errors can propagate into our scientific understanding, particularly when systematically biased. Very reasonably, scientists thus review substantial proportions of ML-generated labels to verify or correct mistakes in pursuit of ensuring their scientific findings are not biased by ML. In this work, we focus on helping scientists optimally allocate this reviewing effort relative to their scientific goals. We focus on a specific class of scientists (ecologists) and a specific, widespread, and impactful modeling target (occupancy modeling, which estimates where species are likely to occur, conditioned on environmental factors). We introduce Active Continuous-Score Occupancy Modeling (ACORN), a method that incorporates ML predictions into

Agriculture in Egypt is running at barely half of its sustainable potential, according to a new integrated assessment that puts hard numbers on one of the world’s most water-stressed farming systems.

The economic viability of second-generation bioethanol has long been held hostage by a single line item on the balance sheet: the cost of commercial cellulase enzymes. Breaking down tough lignocellulosic biomass—agricultural residues, forestry waste, and industrial byproducts—into fermentable sugars requires expensive enzyme cocktails that can account for a substantial share of total production costs. Now, […]

Maize is the backbone of Uganda’s food economy, feeding millions of people every day and supplying millers, traders and regional export markets with one of East Africa’s most important staple grains. Yet a new study from northern Uganda suggests that the very farmers who produce the bulk of the country’s maize often know surprisingly little […]

In the densely populated highlands of eastern Ethiopia, smallholder farmers are watching their climate change in real time, and most of them are responding without any help from formal institutions.

arXiv:2609.21059v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Plant growth and agricultural production form the foundation of a country's sustainable development and directly impact human livelihoods. Recent advances in frontier artificial intelligence have enabled scientific agriculture with strong potential to improve crop productivity. In this paper, we identify the importance and inherent complexity of plant shade simulation, as shading is a critical factor influencing plant growth. To advance this field and promote broader societal benefits, we focus on two main contributions. First, we introduce a comprehensive plant growth and shade dataset covering four plant species, including soybean, tomato, sugarbeet, and strawberry. The dataset includes top-down viewpoints with a supplementary light along a circular trajectory, casting dynamic shadows across multiple growth stages and diverse observation complexities. Second, we propose generative shade simulation based on diffusion models, enabling
