Learn how the carbon cycle works and how greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane disrupt it, shaping climate change ...

Global heating over this millennium could exceed previous estimates due to carbon cycle feedback loops. This is the conclusion of a new study by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) ...

The carbon cycle in our oceans is critical to the balance of life in ocean waters and for reducing carbon in the atmosphere, a significant process to curbing climate change or global warming. A study ...

The carbon stored globally by plants is shorter-lived and more vulnerable to climate change than previously thought, according to a new study. The carbon stored globally by plants is shorter-lived and ...

As global temperatures climb, a critical but often-overlooked component of our ecosystems is stepping into the spotlight: dissolved organic matter, or DOM. Found everywhere from river water to forest ...

Ancient carbon thought to be safely stored underground for millennia is unexpectedly resurfacing literally. A sweeping international study has found that over half of the carbon gases released by ...

Researchers from the Institute of Applied Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have proposed a structured framework to evaluate the nitrogen (N) status and nitrogen balance of forest ecosystems ...

Blue Carbon refers to organic carbon captured and stored by the ocean in vegetated coastal ecosystems such as mangrove forests, saltmarshes or seagrass meadows. In these Blue Carbon ecosystems, ...

An Australian start-up is hoping fungi can pull carbon dioxide from the air and stash it underground. It’s one of several ventures trying to deploy the superpowers of soil to slow global warming.
