Global heating over this millennium could exceed previous estimates due to carbon cycle feedback loops. This is 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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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.

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 ...

(A) Photosynthesis in land plants fixes atmospheric CO2 (inorganic carbon) as organic carbon, which is either stored as plant biomass or in soil, or is decomposed back to CO2 through plant and ...

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 ...

A modeling study estimates that by drastically reducing fish biomass over the past century, industrial fishing may be affecting ocean chemistry, nutrient fluxes, and carbon cycling as much as climate ...
