A study from the U.S. Geological Survey found the ecosystems on California's public lands are losing the carbon they've ...

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.

Plants and phytoplankton are the main components of the fast carbon cycle. Phytoplankton (microscopic organisms in the ocean) and plants take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by absorbing it into ...

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 ...

All of this extra carbon needs to go somewhere. So far, land plants and the ocean have taken up about 55 percent of the extra carbon people have put into the atmosphere while about 45 percent has ...

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’.

This process, called photosynthesis, is essential to the global carbon cycle ... green plants, phytoplankton, and cyanobacteria. During the process of photosynthesis, cells use carbon dioxide ...

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 ...

A research team has made significant discoveries regarding the complex reaction mechanisms of carbon dioxide (CO2) in supercritical water. These findings are crucial for understanding the molecular ...

An industrial-scale incinerator generating electricity by burning garbage is the largest producer of greenhouse gases ...

Animals feed on plants, passing the carbon compounds along the food chain. Most carbon they consume is exhaled as carbon dioxide during respiration. The animals and plants eventually die.
