When volcanology meets plant biology*
Research by Guinn et al. (2024) indicates that volcanic CO2-enhanced plant growth, is detectable via satellite using the NDVI metric. Greener vegetation can be used as a proxy for increased CO2 release from volcanoes, serving as an early warning for volcanic activity. This method can also be used to monitor…

The amazing athel tamarisk
The post broadly considers the importance of water for plants. Specifically, it highlights the study by Al-Handawi et al. (2023) which investigated athel tamarisk and its ability to extract water from the atmosphere. That phenomenon has interesting biological consequences, and potential for water collection technologies. The post concludes with Mr.…
