This discovery adds to scientific understanding of the carbon cycle and could help inform climate change mitigation strategies. The findings are published in the journal Nature Communications. While ...

Sulfate-reducing bacteria break down a large proportion of the organic carbon in the oxygen-free zones of Earth, and in the ...

and keeping carbon in play once it enters the cycle, ideally resulting in multiple uses of each carbon atom. Single-use carbon can no longer be widespread, the roadmap authors assert. The carbon ...

Most of the carbon absorbed by land over the past three decades has ended up in non-living reservoirs rather than in growing trees and plants, according to a study that challenges previous models of ...

Since physical and chemical erosion yield comparable carbon fluxes, studying both together is essential to avoid biases in erosion-driven carbon flux estimates.

According to a predictive model developed by a CNRS researcher1 and his European colleagues, the microalgae present in peat bogs could offset up to 14% of future CO2 emissions, thanks to their ...

Research reveals agriculture's surprising role in carbon dioxide fluctuations, driven by nitrogen fertilizer and overlooked ...

Rivers, lakes and wetlands are important factors for climate change, which should have a place in conceptual models of the global carbon cycle. A broader concept of a 'boundless carbon cycle ...

With rising energy costs, dwindling resources, and growing volumes of trash, humanity has a waste problem. Researchers at the ...

The Regional Carbon Cycle Assessment and Processes (RECCAP) project launched in 2011 to provide regional carbon budgets at ...

Work at the Carbon Cycle Lab includes research on the chemical recycling of plastic waste, which is being shifted to pilot ...
