Nature's carbon-capturing machines are working overtime. Plants worldwide are absorbing about 31% more carbon dioxide than scientists previously estimated, according to research published in Nature.

While a single plant is capable of fixing inorganic carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air, the entire ecosystem surrounding the ...

These cycles utilize carbon dioxide in a supercritical state ... technology's suitability for high-temperature solar thermal power plants, compact nuclear reactors, and coal-fired power plants ...

The stunning estimate offers hope that natural ecosystems in pan-tropical forests could help humans control global warming.

For flowering plants, this cycle begins with a seed ... They soak up sunlight and carbon dioxide from the air. This produces food for the plant. We call this ‘Photosynthesis’.

The volcanic activity emits carbon dioxide that replaces that taken ... pairs they couple global-mean models of plant productivity, the carbon cycle, and climate to determine the eventual ...

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 ...
