To understand Earth’s changing climate, scientists often turn to science-based computer simulations. Researchers strive to make these Earth system models as accurate as possible. Factors such as wind currents, air quality, and weather patterns all play a role. But current modeling has often overlooked one important activity: agriculture. Now, research from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) published in JGR Biogeosciences has found that more realistically representing the effect of agri
