A study in the journal Science found that climate change is making droughts faster. "Flash droughts" only occur during the growing season and cast a bigger crop-killing footprint.

Climate change is making droughts faster and more furious, especially a specific fast-developing heat-driven kind that catch farmers by surprise, a new study found.

Researchers at Cornell University are developing a new tool to eliminate deadly pathogens in commercial dry food processing plants — superheated, dry

Birds, fish and insects in England are already under strain from extremely dry conditions, which are expected to persist into the autumn

/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- When food safety is paramount, Steamericas, an industry leader in advanced steam cleaning technology, encourages the use of dry vapor...

The world's first covalent organic framework sensors can detect pH changes in living plants, which can provide early warning of drought stress in plants up to 48 hours before traditional methods.

There is a wide variety of flowering or evergreen plants that stay beautiful during hot, dry summer weather.

Increasing odds of hot, dry weather make it less likely trees and other plants will quickly grow back

Extremophyte plants not only survive in dry, salty or cold places, but actually thrive in them. One of these plants flourishes in a place with extremely high salt content and it could be used to help crops adapt to the climate crisis.

Scientists have discovered that certain plants can survive stressful, dry conditions by controlling water loss through their leaves without relying on their usual mechanism—tiny pores known as stomata.

Hydropower is essential to the U.S. power grid, but it only creates energy when there's water to move. How many hydroelectric plants could be in jeopardy as lakes and rivers dry up?

Some plants and patches of Earth withstand heat and dry spells better than others. A new Stanford University study shows those different coping mechanisms are closely linked to wildfire burn areas, posing increasing risks in an era of climate change.

Britain is suffering its worst drought since the 1970s, with dry weather expected until October. Many parks and lawns are now more straw than grass, but some trees and other plants have responded in a more surprising way: by losing their leaves.

If plants were a bit more ambulatory, Peter Adler and Michael Stemkovski might find their work to be a bit less urgent. If whenever the weather got too hot or dry, crested wheatgrass, yellow rabbitbrush and silvery groves of quaking aspen could choose to wriggle their extremities out of the soil and wander upslope to more hospitable environments, plants like these might have a better chance at surviving climate…

A new scientific study shows how periods of drought affect photosynthesis throughout the course of the day. The study found that plants in regions that are typically dry increase their CO2 intake during the morning hours during a heat wave and decrease photosynthesis in the mid-day and afternoon. Researchers analyzed data from new-generation geostationary satellites.

Biogas is booming and ECOCORP is on it with its core biogas tech helping the industry grow. As a commercial stage company, they design, permit, construct, commission and operate biogas plants but what is perhaps most interesting is the dry, thermophilic two-step (hydrolysis and fermentation) anaerobic co-digestion with high organic loading and reduced retention time. […]

The vast majority of absorbent materials will lose their ability to retain water as temperatures rise. This is why our skin starts to sweat and why plants dry out in the heat. Even materials that are designed to soak up moisture, such as the silica gel packs in consumer packaging, will lose their sponge-like properties as their environment heats up.

Crop-livestock integration (CLI) systems combine the growing of crops in rotation or consortium, especially grain crops such as soybeans, corn and sorghum, and forage plants used to feed cattle and pigs, with the raising of livestock, typically beef cattle. The crops provide most of the cash income, while the livestock has food available during the dry season and facilitates seed management.
