Earth system models have been overestimating natural nitrogen fixation by about 50%, overstating the strength of Earth’s future carbon sink.

New research shows Africa’s forests now release more carbon than they absorb. This raises global climate risks and calls for urgent action.

In a new study published in New Phytologist on Nov. 23, Prof. Zeng Fanjiang's team from the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has identified the key ...

Carbon doesn’t just vanish into the ground; it gets chemically captured. Scientists have long ...

HOMER — The role whales play in reducing carbon in the atmosphere should be considered in climate mitigation efforts, a new scientific paper authored by a coalition of researchers contends. Published ...

The development means that the world’s three major rainforest regions — South American Amazon, Southeast Asia, and Africa — are now adding carbon into the atmosphere, exacerbating global warming ...

CAMARILLO, Calif. – A study by a California State University (CSU) Channel Islands Professor documented an intersection of surf breaks and biodiversity protection, inspiring more research published ...

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 ...

Terrestrial carbon sinks can mitigate the greenhouse effect. Researchers pooled various data sources and found that European carbon storage takes place mainly in surface biomass in East Europe.

Carbon sinks and sources in global forests (Pg C year-1) expressed as the mean annual rate across the full three-decadal period 1990 to 2019. Positive values represent carbon sinks, while negative ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Until humans can find a way to geoengineer ourselves out of the climate disaster we’ve created, we must rely on natural carbon sinks, such as oceans and forests, to suck carbon ...
