The world's forests, land and soil absorbed almost no carbon in 2023, according to preliminary research from a group of international scientists. The three are considered land carbon sinks because ...

Climate change threatens natural ecosystems and socioeconomic systems, with carbon dioxide viewed as the main driving force. To promote ecological civilization construction and cope with global ...

Beavers could engineer riverbeds into promising carbon dioxide sinks, according to a new international study led by researchers at the University of Birmingham. The paper, published in Communications ...

A critical review in Plant and Soil finds that biochar could plausibly intercept labile root-exudate carbon and convert it ...

As atmospheric carbon dioxide levels continue to rise, the ocean plays a crucial role in helping to reduce the full impact of human-driven climate change by absorbing roughly a quarter of the carbon ...

Seven of nine planetary boundaries are breached, all seven are worsening, and the models behind climate plans may be too ...

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 ...

A decades-long effort to plant shrubs and trees around the Taklamakan Desert, China’s largest desert and one of the driest places on Earth, has turned a region long considered a biological void into ...

The natural systems that absorb nearly half of all CO2 produced by human activities are under increasing stress. The policies and financial frameworks designed to protect them are not keeping pace.

Peat bogs sequester a massive amount of the Earth's carbon dioxide. But even as scientists work to better understand bogs' sequestration, the wetlands are under threat. On a cold winter afternoon, ...

Beavers could engineer riverbeds into promising carbon dioxide sinks, according to a new international study led by researchers at the University of Birmingham. The researchers’ findings demonstrate ...
