Carrion is something we choose to stay away from - it looks awful, writhes with insects, and smells really bad. Why would anyone study the remains of dead animals? Aa Aa Aa Carrion, or the remains of ...

American forests are important sources of carbon sequestration, storing millions of tons of carbon dioxide each year. However, a unique experiment led by Peter Reich, University of Michigan professor ...

GRAND BLANC, MI -- Five eighth graders from Grand Blanc’s Perry Innovation Center will soon be giving instructions to astronauts on the International Space Station. As one student put it, “we get to ...

Integrating big data and a coordinated global field experiment, researchers have developed a model that can predict the decomposition rate of organic matter in rivers worldwide. The global model ...

1. Differences in litter quality and in soil microbial community composition can influence the litter decomposition and ‘home-field advantage’ (HFA). However, our knowledge about the relative role of ...

Sometimes well known, simple household objects can be the best tools to use in a science experiment. Researchers at the Mission-Aransas Reserve are part of an international experiment with the ...

Atmospheric nitrogen deposition increases forest carbon sequestration across broad parts of the Northern Hemisphere. Slower organic matter decomposition and greater soil carbon accumulation could ...

Sporting a lab coat, Camille Schrier blew away the competition with a colorful science experiment showing the catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. When it comes to the Miss America pageant, ...

Watch as common household ingredients create a fascinating chemical reaction that produces a growing "snake" of carbon. This experiment demonstrates decomposition reactions, gas formation, and the ...

This research has been conducted in collaboration with Stevie Ziogos (PhD candidate, Murdoch University) and Kari Pitts (ChemCentre). Forensic entomology guidelines have been updated in collaboration ...
