Autotrophs participate in the carbon cycle by fixing carbon dioxide to produce the biomass that all other organisms use for life. Four autotrophic carbon-fixation pathways were already known and ...
The carbon cycle is the biogeochemical cycle focused on carbon and how it is sequestered in and moves between different reservoirs in the Earth system. As climate change accelerates, fire regimes ...
A new study documents how spruce forests differing in management and age structure influence individual tree growth, carbon stocks, and landscape-water balance in the Pacific Northwest.
How do coastal ecosystems act as a carbon sink? Billions of tonnes of carbon are constantly moving through the atmosphere, land and oceans. The ocean carbon cycle is a set of vital processes that ...
