The amount of carbon released by seabed fishing worldwide is uncertain and must be urgently investigated, researchers say.

Most of the carbon absorbed by land over the past three decades has ended up in non-living reservoirs rather than in growing trees and plants, according to a study that challenges previous models of ...

The study also said the large mass of fish in U.S. reservoirs is significant for the global carbon cycle, as fish play important roles in carbon flux, food webs, nutrient cycling and energy transfer.

Plants are part of a once balanced system that saw carbon cycling in and out of natural reservoirs in the land ... why we need to rethink the carbon cycle. He says it is a misunderstanding ...
