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

Scientists know iron oxide minerals store large amounts of carbon in soils, but lack a detailed, quantitative understanding of the specific chemical mechanisms that allow them to bind such a wide ...

Lakes have long been viewed as sources of carbon dioxide emissions, but new research suggests they may actually act as carbon sinks. A study led by Uppsala University reveals that lake shorelines ...

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 ...

Tiny plastic particles drifting through the oceans may be quietly weakening one of Earth’s most powerful climate defenses.

A refined mathematical model is now capable of predicting carbon inputs and outputs for freshwater lakes around the world, according to new research from INSTAAR’s Isabella Oleksy and collaborators.

Much of the organic carbon sinking into the deep ocean is carried by tiny organic particles known as marine snow. (Santa Barbara, Calif.) — In the midst of the COVID pandemic, scientists embarked on ...

McGill engineering researchers have introduced an open-source model that makes it easier for experts and non-experts alike to evaluate greenhouse gas emissions from U.S. natural gas supply chains and ...
