Plants constantly interact with their environment. Researchers are exploring how certain cereal crops can respond to pollutants in ways that help scientists monitor environmental conditions.
Studying these natural signals may support new approaches to understanding pollution and protecting soil and ecosystems.

Grasslands are among the world’s largest carbon reservoirs, with much of their carbon stored underground in soil.
In many natural ecosystems, grazing animals help maintain the balance of grasslands by stimulating plant growth and supporting soil processes that contribute to carbon storage.
