At high densities, white-tailed deer inhibit growth of trees but increase the overall diversity of smaller plant and weed species, according to a long-term study published Dec. 23 in PLOS One. Twenty years ago, Cornell researchers established...

The four-day event, co-sponsored by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, is expected to attract nearly 1 million participants this year, providing a global snapshot just before migration.

Seven teaching faculty from across the university have been awarded Cornell’s highest honors for graduate and undergraduate teaching.

by Jackie Swift Farms generate huge amounts of data. A dairy farm in the United States, for instance, will typically produce data that tracks herd health and breeding, and milk production and quality, for a start. If the farm also grows its own...

Grid sampling– a process where fields are divided into small grids and a soil sample is taken from each section for individual analysis– can generally be very informative. It is capable of capturing variability throughout a field that may have...

Physics-based models should be supplemented with AI hydrological models rather than relying on site-specific estimates, researchers find.

One of the best ways to connect science to practice is through on-farm research. On-farm research can help farmers make informed decisions about how to efficiently use their resources (like fertilizer and seed) to grow high-yielding, high...
