Some of the most obvious impacts of climate change on agriculture are changing weather patterns and crop diseases. The country is already seeing changes in precipitation patterns, and these are predicted to worsen in coming years. In some regions, heavy rain may last longer and be more intense, while in other regions, dry periods may […]

Agricultural runoff can be a major source of water pollution in the Mississippi River. Runoff may come from eroded soil or may be resuspended from groundwater. In addition, rain carries air pollutants hundreds of miles to water bodies. Although it’s easier to regulate a point source, non-point sources can cause serious problems in the same […]

Carbon dioxide is one of the major greenhouse gases. It is produced naturally by animals and plants. When plants do not have enough oxygen, they exchange carbon dioxide for oxygen. However, if too much carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere, it can be dangerous. If the carbon dioxide concentration becomes high enough, it can […]
