Geoscientist Sinikka Lennartz is modelling the decomposition of organic carbon in the ocean – a much-overlooked factor in the global carbon balance. Her earth system models run on the University of ...

Soils store more carbon than the atmosphere and vegetation combined, with soil microorganisms playing the main role. As a ...

When it comes to diatoms that live in the ocean, new research suggests that photosynthesis is not the only strategy for accumulating carbon. Instead, these single-celled plankton are also building ...

Narrow bands of ocean covering just over one-third of the world's seas are responsible for absorbing nearly three-quarters of the carbon dioxide that oceans pull from the atmosphere, new research ...

A new study shows how digital building models can be used to pinpoint where carbon emissions occur across a building’s entire life cycle, offering designers and policymakers a powerful tool to reduce ...

A team in Taiwan has engineered a new way for plants to absorb and use carbon dioxide, potentially reshaping the fight against climate change. By inserting an extra biochemical cycle into a model ...

A new global study shows that increasing soil salinity is systematically reshaping the storage and distribution of soil ...

A study recently published in the journal Nature finds plants have been absorbing 31 percent more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than previously assumed and modeled. The international team of ...
