The authors propose and test a method that would allow for the generation of a magnetic field on Mars sufficient to support future colonization.

Here, the authors sought to investigate the effects of water current on the growth of colonies of duckweed, a floating plant that forms colonies in silent ponds, marshes, lakes , and streams in North America. They found that current flow mediates the formation of colonies, disrupting and recreating the colonies which provides the opportunity for reorganizations that were identified as beneficial.

The authors test whether basil can grow in a simulated Martian soil improved with a waste-based fertilizer called Milorganite.
