Researchers at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography have created a more accurate model of global carbon cycling. The model better accounts for the contributions of Earth’s terrestrial ...
Mangrove forests play an important role in the global carbon cycle, particularly within the marine carbon system. Growing ...
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.
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 ...
The carbon stored globally by plants is shorter-lived and more vulnerable to climate change than previously thought, according to a new study. The findings have implications for our understanding of ...
Narrow bands of ocean covering just over one-third of the world's seas are responsible for absorbing nearly three-quarters of ...
Our planet has experienced dramatic climate shifts throughout its history, oscillating between freezing "icehouse" periods ...
