Weekly Article - Rain and Storms are not always great for plants

So I want to start a new section for the blog, nothing major but I'm planning on uploading a link to a interesting paper each week.

Hopefully each of the link I post will be easily understandable for everyone and reading the links and it will provide a link to recently published relevant work which you might have missed.

The article this week is about the effects of extreme weather on global crop production which has been published in Nature. This article is relevant as with a growing human population there is an ever increasing demand for food, resulting in increasingly high levels of land clearance for the use of farming. Along with that the effort to produce crops is extremely costly in both time, fossil fuels and water so the lost or failure of harvests is extremely costly.

So here is the link check it out!
