The world's most fertile soils are losing carbon, but global warming could drive an unexpected large-scale recovery in the ...

Healthy soil is one of our strongest defenses against climate change, nature loss, and pollution, write Susan Gardner and ...

A new model reveals that spring thaw releases hidden carbon and could disrupt cold-water ecosystems and rivers for decades.

With 2,500 billion tons of carbon, soil is one of Earth’s largest carbon sinks. The new findings could help researchers predict which soil chemistries are most favorable for trapping carbon — ...

Biochar helps farmland store stable carbon in the topsoil by boosting microbial life, but causes a decline in carbon storage ...

Many rivers flow into the Arctic Ocean north of the Arctic Circle—including the Lena in Siberia and the Mackenzie River in ...

Dirt, it turns out, isn’t just worm poop. It’s also a humongous receptacle of carbon, some 2.5 trillion tons of it — three times more than all the carbon in the atmosphere. That’s why if you ask a ...

The nonprofit Climate Farmers, an early architect of Europe’s soil carbon credit system, has surprised the regenerative agriculture world by walking away from carbon markets. “We’re stepping away from ...

A new study in Nature Communications finds a critical climate tipping point in Tibetan permafrost ecosystems. Warming of 2–4 ...

With 2,500 billion tons of carbon, soil is one of Earth's largest carbon sinks. Researchers used experiments and computational modeling to study interactions between carbon molecules and clay minerals ...
