The six states in the Chesapeake Bay's watershed lead the United States in conservation practices, the nation's top agriculture official said Sept. 9. Ninety-nine percent of the watershed's cultivated acres have at least one conservation measure in place, a figure U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack called "an extraordinary achievement unmatched anywhere in the United States."  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2024&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=57d94e6068e31" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

Do you like nerdy web comics and climate change real talk? Of course you do. Randall Munroe, creator of the tri-weekly web comic xkcd, has combined the two into an epic timeline of Earth's climate. It shows just how radical the recent changes are and puts to bed the trope "the climate has changed before."  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2037&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=57d9baccb868d" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

Agricultural landscapes in Germany have lost much of their diversity being dominated by crops such as maize and rapeseed today. This trend has also had an impact on the biodiversity of animals and wild plants and the consequences of excessive pesticide and fertilizer use are beginning to show as bees are dying and excess nitrate concentrations are threatening groundwater and drinking water. Experts from science and agriculture are calling for an end to such practices.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2050&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=57d94e0ed9e3c" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

As producers across Texas are planting winter wheat, it is important they consider crediting soil nitrogen in their management plans, according to a Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service specialist. Dr. Jake Mowrer, AgriLife Extension state soil fertility specialist in College Station, said producers can save money in fertilizer costs by taking advantage of existing soil nitrogen and still make expected yield goals.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2062&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=57d9bb52c20da" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

The Atlantic
The Alexander Archipelago, a 300-mile-long sweep of islands off the southeastern coast of Alaska, is known for its isolation, its heavy rain and its thick, ancient forests of hemlock, pine, spruce and yellow-cedar. Yellow-cedar, which John Muir called a "truly noble tree," has long been prized for its fine-grained, butter-colored wood. But over the past century, as average temperatures have risen, shrinking spring-snow cover has exposed more and more of the species's shallow roots to freezing temperatures, and yellow-cedars have been dying off.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2069&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=57d9bb84450a3" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE
