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 ...

Until now, the slow weathering of silicate rocks has been considered as the main factor in climate regulation. In this system, rain takes up carbon dioxide (CO 2) from the atmosphere, falls on exposed ...

In the midst of the COVID pandemic, scientists embarked on an ambitious research expedition to the North Atlantic to investigate the inner workings of the ocean’s carbon cycle. A series of storms ...

Conceptual framework illustrating the possible relationships between microbial CUE and R h on the basis of stoichiometric theory and microbial community theory. Soils store more carbon than the ...

Geologists doing fieldwork in southeastern Utah's Cedar Mountain Formation found carbon isotope evidence that the site, though on land, experienced the same early Cretaceous carbon-cycle change ...
