Rivers, lakes and wetlands are important factors for climate change, which should have a place in conceptual models of the global carbon cycle. A broader concept of a 'boundless carbon cycle ...

positioning these regions as critical sinks in the global DOC pool and highlighting a potential coupling between the marine carbon cycle and tectonic activity.

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 apply nuclear and ...

Luckily, this won't happen until at least 1.6 billion years from now, suggests new research from University of Chicago ...

Dead organisms are broken down into smaller pieces by the process of decay. Organisms such as earthworms are involved in this process.

Florida State University researchers are part of the first global study on glacial organic carbon and have found that just ...

Understanding how key players such as whales, plankton, seagrasses and other forms of sea life interact sheds light on Earth’s carbon cycle. Carbon, a chemical element, is found in all organic ...

The marine chemist is an expert in biogeochemical seabed processes and lead author of the new study on the seagrass carbon cycle. "However, as seagrass meadows are particularly widespread in warm ...

The emergence of life on our planet added a new layer to the carbon cycle. As plants grow, they take CO 2 out of the atmosphere, and when they die, it is released again. Animals that consume the ...
