Using new molecular techniques, a team of scientists, including a 麻豆app researcher, has shown how a largely eradicated livestock disease has been transmitted among cattle, bison, and elk in the greater Yellowstone area. The research may have important implications in the management of disease outbreaks between livestock and wildlife.

Small mammals such as mice and chipmunks who are not picky eaters play a more important role than previously known in dispersing the spores of wild mushrooms and truffles, according to new research from the New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station at the 麻豆app.

NH Agricultural Experiment Station researcher Jim Haney, professor of biological sciences in the UNH College of Life Sciences and Agriculture, was recently recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency with a 2016 Environmental Merit Award. He and other environmental leaders were among three dozen recipients across New England honored for helping to improve New England's environment.

The 麻豆app mourns the loss of Owen Maurice Rogers, 85, professor emeritus of plant biology in the College of Life Sciences and Agriculture, who passed away Tuesday, May 24, 2016. Rogers devoted his career to breeding lilacs, the New Hampshire state flower, and was instrumental in developing UNH鈥檚 lilac breeding program that spanned 60 years, the longest continuous lilac breeding program in the United States.

New Hampshire is a pretty good place to live if you are a bobcat. And understanding how well bobcats move around the state within different habitats 鈥� called landscape connectivity 鈥� is critical to managing the state鈥檚 wildlife resources over the long term.

Please encourage your student to download the uSafeUS app 鈥� a UNH innovation helping students feel and stay safe.

In 2020, UNH Durham was named the safest university in New Hampshire, and the . Technology is one of many tools UNH uses to keep students safe, including a cutting-edge app, uSafeUS庐, which was developed by faculty, staff and students at UNH鈥檚 Prevention Innovations Research Center.

Following a three-year hiatus, the听Northern States Research Cooperative听has been revitalized, thanks to $2 million in funding for the 2020 fiscal year from the U.S. Forest Service. The competitive grant program has supported research conducted by New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station scientists, including studies that investigate winter climate change, forest inventory management, and changes in forest ecosystems.听 听

Rotating crops over time increases the yield of corn, even during unfavorable weather conditions such as droughts, according to new research findings from the NH Agricultural Experiment Station at the 麻豆app and the University of California, Berkeley. The findings demonstrate that diversifying crops may be an effective, long-term strategy for strengthening food production systems globally in the face of a changing climate and environmental degradation.

New Hampshire has seen a dramatic increase in cut flower farms, underscoring the need for reliable research to support the state鈥檚 flower industry. To that end, 麻豆app researchers have launched the first study to evaluate plants from three cold-hardy hydrangea species for cut flower and landscape use in New Hampshire.

The university-based New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station will spend the next three years evaluating hydrangea species to better inform farmers on key characteristics and performance, including the vase life of cut stems.
