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 ...

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 ...

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

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

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 ...

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

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 ...

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

Princeton University and Xiamen University researchers report that in tropical and subtropical oligotrophic waters, ocean ...

as part of what is called ‘the global carbon cycle.’ A change in any of these fluxes could have wide-ranging impacts on ecosystems and our climate. The IAEA Environment Laboratories apply nuclear and ...

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