This discovery adds to scientific understanding of the carbon cycle and could help inform climate change mitigation strategies. The findings are published in the journal Nature Communications. While ...

Since physical and chemical erosion yield comparable carbon fluxes, studying both together is essential to avoid biases in erosion-driven carbon flux estimates.

Rivers, lakes and wetlands are important factors for climate change, which should have a place in conceptual models of the global carbon cycle. A broader concept of a 'boundless carbon cycle ...

Carbon atoms move around the planet in a process known as the carbon cycle—but really, two carbon cycles are moving together at the same time. Here's how it works: This gecko is part of the fast ...

and heterotrophic bacteria. The products of these organisms feed back into the carbon cycle in marine sediments, where they may be consumed by other microbes.

Research reveals agriculture's surprising role in carbon dioxide fluctuations, driven by nitrogen fertilizer and overlooked ...

Hurricanes move massive amounts of sediment from shallow reefs to deep oceans, affecting ecosystems long-term.

Princeton University and Xiamen University researchers report that in tropical and subtropical oligotrophic waters, ocean ...

With rising energy costs, dwindling resources, and growing volumes of trash, humanity has a waste problem. Researchers at the ...

The Regional Carbon Cycle Assessment and Processes (RECCAP) project launched in 2011 to provide regional carbon budgets at ...

Work at the Carbon Cycle Lab includes research on the chemical recycling of plastic waste, which is being shifted to pilot ...
