Our understanding of plant and tree roots may have been somewhat shallow. New research reveals many plants have a hidden ...

Microbes, such as bacteria and fungi, are the primary drivers of carbon storage in soil, surpassing other soil processes by a factor of four, according to a new study in Nature. The efficiency of ...

Researchers examined root exudates and their impact on soil carbon storage revealing surprising and counterintuitive results. Ecosystem ecology studies often focus on what's happening to plants ...

Plants grow deep, hidden root systems that may store more carbon than previously thought - offering a new tool to fight ...

We have divided our forest carbon stocks into three pools that allow us to track our carbon inventory and to follow and ...

Plants and trees extend their roots into the earth in order to draw nutrients and water from the soil -- however, these roots are thought to decline ...

Soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition is a key process that affects soil carbon storage and greenhouse gas emissions. Investigating the temperature sensitivity (Q10) of SOM decomposition and its ...

Planting hedgerows increases soil carbon storage by almost half compared to nearby grassland – no matter where they are in the country – says new research. A team led by scientists from the University ...
