Rhizotron assembled: Interdisciplinary collaboration results in controlled plant growth chamber

Researchers are looking belowground to address atmospheric carbon, using soils as a tool for climate mitigation. Accessing roots and soils has historically required some creative problem-solving to take a deeper look at the rhizosphere, or the soil around a root...

New research shows practices from the past will be key to future soil carbon solutions

Sometimes to go forward, you must go back.  Ecology Ph.D. candidate Aaron Prairie A new study from Colorado State University’s Department of Soil and Crop Sciences found that regenerative practices — including integrating crop and livestock systems — were successful...

CSU researchers to investigate solutions to Colorado agricultural challenges

In an agrivoltaic system, solar panels provide partial shade for the crops being grown below, which can help protect plants from heat extremes. To explore new ideas and initiate novel research programs, the College of Agricultural Sciences is funding six research...

Give peas a chance: CSU study shows legumes as a solution to the soil-carbon dilemma

Rebecca Even and Angie Moore, research associates in the Department of Soil and Crop Sciences, separate soil cores by depth. Photo courtesy of Laura van der Pol. The legume family is great at fixing nitrogen, a biochemical process that moves nitrogen from the air into...

CSU researchers launch $1.9 million project for water treatment and reuse using biochar

Every day, hundreds of billions of gallons of a precious, dwindling natural resource, fresh water, is used for agricultural irrigation, energy extraction and more. The demand for novel sources of clean water, in the face of a growing population and a warming planet,...

CSU soil scientists tapping rangelands as vast sources for carbon storage

CSU researchers, in collaboration with Woodwell Climate Research Center, are developing a rangeland carbon tracking tool for land managers. Video and photos by Ron Bend. The United States’ 770 million acres of rangelands have been home to many generations of grazing...
