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 ...

Phytoplankton are key players in the ocean carbon cycle. Comprised of a variety of microscopic photosynthesizing bacteria, algae, and other single-cell organisms, phytoplankton form the base of marine ...

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 ...

Stanford, CA—Scientists may have overcome a major hurdle to calculating how much carbon dioxide (CO2) is absorbed and released by plants, vital information for understanding how the biosphere responds ...

Virginia Tech researchers, in collaboration with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, have discovered that key parts of the global carbon cycle used to track movement of carbon dioxide in the ...
