A new study in Nature Communications finds a critical climate tipping point in Tibetan permafrost ecosystems. Warming of 2–4 ...
The world's most fertile soils are losing carbon, but global warming could drive an unexpected large-scale recovery in the ...
Many rivers flow into the Arctic Ocean north of the Arctic Circle—including the Lena in Siberia and the Mackenzie River in ...
Plant and Soil Sciences Ph.D. alumna Elizabeth Smith uses machine learning to investigate soil respiration and the carbon cycle One of the world’s most critical processes is soil respiration. That’s ...
PFOA and PFOS contaminants initially accelerate carbon release from soil by rapidly consuming key nutrients, but this leads to a long-term deficit that stalls essential microbial activity The ...
Researchers are using soil microbe DNA to model how they function and use carbon, helping to better predict and address climate change. A recent study led by a team at the Lawrence Berkeley National ...
Soil stores 80 percent of carbon on earth, yet with increasing cycles of drought, that crucial reservoir is cracking and breaking down, releasing even more greenhouse gases creating an amplified ...
Soil contains about twice as much carbon as the atmosphere and plants combined. It is a major carbon sink, capable of absorbing more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than it releases. Management of ...
The carbon cycle is a staple on any Earth science class syllabus, but scientists are still studying its nuances.
Lifelike biochemistry continued to unfold in sterilized soil for six years, pointing to a metabolic theory for how biology began. For 15 years, Sébastien Fontaine has been trying to kill dirt. The ...
