(B) The transformations of organic to inorganic carbon through decomposition and photosynthesis continue in rivers; here, CO2 will re-exchange with the atmosphere (degassing), or be converted to ...

Carbon isn’t an enemy to “combat” or “tackle,” the environmentalist Paul Hawken writes, but the animating force of life ...

Annual carbon cycle fluctuations indicate how much the biosphere is growing every year, Lombardozzi explained. As plants grow in the spring, they draw carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. After crops ...

In 2022, the Webb telescope detected unequivocal evidence of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of a distant exoplanet called ...

With the global carbon cycle thrown out of balance by the burning ... years before this organic carbon goes [and] makes it to the atmosphere, we’re circulating that system, and the carbon ...

Sunshine reflected off the planet’s surface back into the atmosphere causes those gas ... of sea life interact sheds light on Earth’s carbon cycle. Carbon, a chemical element, is found in ...

Since physical and chemical erosion yield comparable carbon fluxes, studying both together is essential to avoid biases in erosion-driven carbon flux estimates.

Carbon dioxide (CO 2) comes from both natural sources (including volcanoes, the breath of animals and plant decay) and human sources (primarily the burning of fossils fuels like coal, oil and natural ...

the atmosphere, the ocean, soil and sediment, 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 ...

The study found that agricultural nitrogen is responsible for 45% of the fluctuation increase in the annual carbon cycle. More carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and warmer temperatures contribute ...
