The cap-and-trade program is run by the California Air Resources Board and covers about 80% of California's greenhouse gas ...

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 ...

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.

Ocean ecosystems play a critical role in carbon ... seagrasses and other forms of sea life interact sheds light on Earth’s carbon cycle. Carbon, a chemical element, is found in all organic ...

Animals feed on plants, passing the carbon compounds along the food chain. Most carbon they consume is exhaled as carbon dioxide during respiration. The animals and plants eventually die.

Overall, the authors found, on average, a twofold increase in ecosystem carbon sequestration when animals were included in their carbon cycle model. By pairing an ecosystem compartment model ...

Princeton University and Xiamen University researchers report that in tropical and subtropical oligotrophic waters, ocean acidification reduces primary production, the process of photosynthesis in ...

"These findings are important because we have undervalued the role of agriculture in carbon cycle fluxes," said lead author Danica Lombardozzi, an assistant professor of ecosystem science and ...

For New Zealand, a country with an underwater territory 14 times its landmass, marine ecosystems present a significant opportunity to investigate carbon storage options. This is important.
