Diazotrophs are overlooked contributors to carbon and nitrogen export to the deep ocean

According to a new study published in The ISME journal, diazotrophs, a group of marine cyanobacteria capable of converting nitrogen gas (N2) from the...

Planting trees is not always an effective way of binding carbon dioxide

As carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere rise, many people believe that planting trees is an effective way to bind carbon. However, researchers from...

Research reveals where carbon storage in soils has the most potential

Soil is the largest terrestrial organic carbon reservoir and is critical for climate change mitigation and adaptation. Mineral-organic associations play an important role in...

Evidence that buckyballs and carbon nanotubes form from the dust and gas of dying stars

The presence of the largest molecules known to exist in interstellar gas has been explained by astronomers at the University of Arizona. The researchers simulated...

Pioneering climate change research reveals long-term global carbon cycle impacts

Dr. Heather Ford of Queen Mary's School of Geography co-authored a new study in Nature Geoscience that uses a novel research model to demonstrate...

How to store more carbon in the soil during climate change

Researchers from Cornell University, Ohio State University, Technical University of Munich, and the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station are using synchrotron light to study how moisture affects soil carbon -...
