UF Researchers Find Particles From Virus That Causes COVID Expand Beyond Quarantine Spaces
After individuals are diagnosed with COVID-19, they are required to quarantine at home. If they live with others, they are encouraged to isolate themselves in a separate room to reduce exposure of the other individuals to the airborne virus. Researchers… Read More
Researchers show how forested areas affect water resources in Florida
David Kaplan, Ph.D., associate professor in the Engineering School of Sustainable Infrastructure & Environment co-authored a new study to show that three factors can accurately predict water yield in forests: climate aridity, a combination of annual rainfall and dryness; hydrogeology,… Read More
Land-building wetland plants, champions of CO2 capture, can help counterbalance the effects of climate change
Peat bogs, salt marshes, mangrove forests and seagrass meadows cover only 1 percent of the Earth’s total surface but sequester more than 20 percent of all the CO2 absorbed by ecosystems worldwide. This unique property arises because plants build these… Read More
