Tropical moist forests account for 70% of global living biomass. Deforestation and degradation—that is, the partial damage to tree stands—as well as the subsequent regeneration of forests therefore ...

Autogenic processes of sediment storage and erosion regulate shoreline movement and therefore, where coastal wetlands develop ...

An airborne study found tropical forests remove less carbon dioxide than expected, helping scientists build more accurate ...

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 ...

Researchers at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography have created a more accurate model of global carbon cycling. The model better accounts for the contributions of Earth’s terrestrial ...

Scientists found that thawing permafrost can trigger increased rock weathering, a natural process that absorbs CO2 from the ...

Where would carbon-based life be without carbon? There are 118 known chemical elements, but carbon is the fourth most abundant and perhaps the most important to human life. Everywhere you look, ...

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 ...

Researchers compare photovoltaics and green electricity certificates, finding that added solar capacity may offer lower ...
