The carbon cycle is the biogeochemical cycle focused ... This study reveals that winter soil warming causes significant crop biomass carbon loss due to soil organic matter degradation.

Forest soils are of the largest terrestrial reservoirs of organic carbon, and knowledge of the processes regulating the cycling of this carbon is important in understanding changes in atmospheric ...

Soil carbon storage is a vital ecosystem service, resulting from interactions of ecological processes. Human activities affecting these processes can lead to carbon loss or improved storage.

A novel method for estimating the rate of photosynthesis from land plants reveals that satellite observations—the current ...

But carbon, specifically in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases, is a major culprit of climate change. But what if we gave you some good news? Soil, the stuff right under our ...

We also expose soil that vents carbon from decayed plant matter into the atmosphere ... the carbon in fossil fuels would leak slowly into the atmosphere through volcanic activity over millions of ...

Through a series of chemical reactions and tectonic activity, carbon takes between 100-200 million years to move between rocks, soil, ocean, and atmosphere in the slow carbon cycle. On average, 10 13 ...

soil and sediment, as part of what is called ‘the global carbon cycle.’ A change in any of these fluxes could have wide-ranging impacts on ecosystems and our climate. The IAEA Environment Laboratories ...

"That will be key in helping us predict what will happen with the soil carbon cycle with a changing climate." The study, "Disproportionate carbon dioxide efflux in bacterial metabolic pathways for ...

Knowledge of microbial mechanisms is critical to understand Earth's biogeochemical cycle under climate and environmental changes ... In addition, most experimental and modeling studies of ...
