EU-funded researchers are developing a new generation of ocean sensors able to monitor previously hard-to-reach areas, ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Reaching net-zero carbon emissions goals requires finding transformative paths to manage carbon in difficult-to-electrify economic sectors. A major approach to achieving net-zero carbon emissions ...

Rivers are a primary source of the plastics that clog oceanic ecosystems and contribute to the continent-sized Great Pacific garbage patch. Broken-down plastics cycle through ecosystems, accumulating ...

Sphagnum peat mosses have an extraordinary impact on the global carbon cycle as they control long-term carbon sequestration in boreal peatland ecosystems. Sphagnum species engineer peatlands, which ...

Climate change is usually associated with changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide, but our planet's surface also plays a major ...

Agricultural waste that is usually burned or left to rot could play a far bigger role in tackling climate change if it were ...
