A new global study shows that increasing soil salinity is systematically reshaping the storage and distribution of soil ...
Soils store more carbon than the atmosphere and vegetation combined, with soil microorganisms playing the main role. As a ...
Carbon released from Earth's spreading tectonic plates, not volcanoes, may have triggered major transitions between ancient ...
Our planet has experienced dramatic climate shifts throughout its history, oscillating between freezing "icehouse" periods ...

Chinese researchers have braved the cold and harsh environment of Antarctica in order to get a unique view of star formation ...
Rivers are a primary source of the plastics that clog oceanic ecosystems and contribute to the continent-sized Great Pacific garbage patch. Broken-down plastics cycle through ecosystems, accumulating ...
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 ...
A team in Taiwan has engineered a new way for plants to absorb and use carbon dioxide, potentially reshaping the fight against climate change. By inserting an extra biochemical cycle into a model ...
A refined mathematical model is now capable of predicting carbon inputs and outputs for freshwater lakes around the world, according to new research from INSTAAR’s Isabella Oleksy and collaborators.
