Carbon sinks and sources in global forests (Pg C year-1) expressed as the mean annual rate across the full three-decadal period 1990 to 2019. Positive values represent carbon sinks, while negative ...

Forests cover about 40% of the EU's land area. Between 1990 and 2022, they absorbed around 10% of the continent's man-made carbon emissions. However, the carbon dioxide absorption capacity of forests, ...

CAMARILLO, Calif. – A study by a California State University (CSU) Channel Islands Professor documented an intersection of surf breaks and biodiversity protection, inspiring more research published ...

Researchers report that phage resistance in ocean bacteria can alter growth, metabolism and sinking behavior, revealing a ...

HOMER — The role whales play in reducing carbon in the atmosphere should be considered in climate mitigation efforts, a new scientific paper authored by a coalition of researchers contends. Published ...

Terrestrial carbon sinks can mitigate the greenhouse effect. Researchers pooled various data sources and found that European carbon storage takes place mainly in surface biomass in East Europe.

Carbon storage could be the solution to tackling the climate change problem. Here's how it can be effective. (Elisabeth Van Roijen/UC Davis) LAS VEGAS (CN) — Ensuring Earth doesn't succumb to climate ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Until humans can find a way to geoengineer ourselves out of the climate disaster we’ve created, we must rely on natural carbon sinks, such as oceans and forests, to suck carbon ...

Nature-based solutions to fight climate change take a holistic approach that promotes biodiversity and ecosystem preservation. While many efforts have focused on planting trees or restoring wetlands, ...

This collection seeks original research that advances our understanding of peatland ecosystems – their biodiversity, ecological functions, and responses to environmental change. We invite ...

Iron in the ground has quietly been doing climate work for centuries, binding carbon in soils so effectively that it can stay ...

Buildings and cities are currently huge polluters, but they have the potential to be carbon sinks. Green construction startups have raised a record $2.2 billion in 2022, per VC firm A/O PropTech. The ...
