Dissolved organic matter (DOM) represents one of the largest and most dynamic pools of organic carbon on Earth. Found in soil, glaciers, rivers, oceans, and the atmosphere, this complex mixture of ...

The ocean is an important carbon sink that absorbs 20–30% of the total anthropogenic CO2 emissions in the industrial era (1.0–3.0 Pg annually, 1 Pg = 1015 g). Tropical cyclones are among the most ...

When it comes to diatoms that live in the ocean, new research suggests that photosynthesis is not the only strategy for accumulating carbon. Instead, these single-celled plankton are also building ...

The carbon cycle is a staple on any Earth science class syllabus, but scientists are still studying its nuances.

Not only is water necessary for sustaining life, but it is also an important factor in maintaining the climate of a planet. The study of exoplanets reveals that without enough water, there is no way ...

Conceptual framework illustrating the possible relationships between microbial CUE and R h on the basis of stoichiometric theory and microbial community theory. Soils store more carbon than the ...

A new study has unveiled the key mechanisms that preserve organic carbon in the ocean—a poorly understood but vital process that influences the Earth's climate, carbon cycles, and formation of fossil ...

Reaching net-zero carbon emissions goals requires finding transformative paths to manage carbon in difficult-to-electrify economic sectors. A major approach to achieving net-zero carbon emissions ...
