"This new study provides support for global carbon cycle simulation and ecosystem assessment. Moreover, it offers a ...

Heat-trapping carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere jumped by the highest amount on record last year, soaring to a level ...

These types of changes are "going to affect us, because we rely on the ocean for our air, our food, our climate regulation.” ...

Long before plants and algae, cyanobacteria were already performing photosynthesis—filling Earth's skies with oxygen and ...

Antarctic krill, tiny shrimp-like creatures, are an important species in the Southern Ocean ecosystem and global carbon cycle ...

UC Riverside researchers have discovered a piece that was missing in previous descriptions of the way Earth recycles its carbon. As a result, they believe that global warming can overcorrect into an ...

Rocks and water are not just scenery. They absorb carbon dioxide from the air, transport it through rivers, and set off reactions that later play out on the seafloor. They play a crucial role in the ...

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 ...

Louisiana has authorized construction of its first ever carbon capture and storage well, opening the way to a new industry that could reduce greenhouse gas emissions from industrial plants, but which ...

This image shows a comparison between the synthetic biology–engineered plant (right) and the wild-type plant. Dr. Liao’s team has developed a novel “McG plant” with a mechanism that recycles the ...
