I am a retired plant scientist. Over the years I have commented on the essential role that CO2 plays in photosynthesis, the basis of virtually all life on Earth. In the last two years I have ...

Tropical forests exchange more CO2 with the atmosphere than any other terrestrial biome, meaning that even a relatively small shift in the balance of carbon uptake and release there could have a big ...

A study examining the effects of higher temperatures on soil shows that warming alone does not increase levels of carbon dioxide emitted from the soil. Instead, higher temperatures combined with more ...

On the east coast of Australia, in tropical North Queensland, lies the Daintree rainforest—a place where the density of trees forms an almost impenetrable mass of green. Stepping into the forest can ...

Soil extracellular enzyme activities in the surface (0-5 cm) and subsurface (5-20 cm) layers of alpine meadow (A-F) and swamp meadow (G-L) under different warming treatments.CK: control treatment; ...

The amount of carbon dioxide (CO 2) entering Earth's atmosphere increased by a record amount in 2024, locking in further global warming, according to a new report. CO 2 levels increased by 3.5 parts ...

American forests are important sources of carbon sequestration, storing millions of tons of carbon dioxide each year. However, a unique experiment led by Peter Reich, University of Michigan professor ...

There's nothing quite like going for a walk on a bright, spring day. But basking in the sunshine could soon be a thing of the past. That's because it has emerged that experts are planning on dimming ...
