The Earth seems to inhale and exhale in a new animation that shows how carbon is taken up and released as the seasons change. The animated continents seem to deflate during summertimes, indicating ...

The idea of animating the carbon cycle (ACC) is relatively new. The concept champions the role that healthy populations of wild animals, both terrestrial and marine, can play in boosting the ability ...

(A) Photosynthesis in land plants fixes atmospheric CO2 (inorganic carbon) as organic carbon, which is either stored as plant biomass or in soil, or is decomposed back to CO2 through plant and soil ...

Today, you can buy a pair of sneakers partially made from carbon dioxide pulled out of the atmosphere. But measuring the carbon-reduction benefits of making that pair of sneakers with CO 2 is complex.

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 ...

Case Western Reserve, collaborators study carbonate melts dispersed in the Earth’s mantle; findings could illuminate long-term carbon exchanges New geologic findings about the makeup of the Earth’s ...

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 ...

Ultimately, to understand how the Earth’s carbon cycle works is to appreciate the human influence currently impacting it. Getty Images, James Cawley This is the second in a five-part series written by ...

Carbon, a building block of life, is constantly moving through different environmental compartments such as biota, the atmosphere, the ocean, soil and sediment, as part of what is called ‘the global ...

The 2nd State of the Carbon Cycle Report (SOCCR-2) reports on changes to sources and sinks of atmospheric carbon in North America. Although addressed to policy makers and citizens alike, the report ...
