Fossils from China’s Turpan-Hami Basin reveal it was a rare land refuge during the end-Permian extinction, with fast ...

Terrestrial carbon sinks grew by 30% from 1992 to 2019, with most carbon stored in nonliving pools, not forests, prompting a ...

Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere are steadily rising because of human activities, which is wreaking havoc on the ...

In a groundbreaking study on the synthesis of cellulose -- a major constituent of all plant cell walls -- a team has captured images of the microscopic process of cell-wall building continuously over ...

Using genetic evidence, researchers propose that these iguanas made the extraordinary voyage by rafting on floating vegetation, possibly composed of uprooted trees or plants. For decades ...

This accumulation of terrestrial carbon has increased by 30% over the last decade, from 0.5 gigatonnes per year to 1.7 gigatonnes per year. Yet, vegetation, mainly forests, accounts for only 6% of ...

A key positive outcome of the study is the discovery that most terrestrial carbon gains are sequestered more permanently than in living vegetation. The lack of data on carbon accumulation in soils, ...

This accumulation of terrestrial carbon has increased by 30% over the last decade, from 0.5 gigatonnes per year to 1.7 gigatonnes per year. Yet, vegetation, mainly forests, accounts for only 6% of ...

Yet, vegetation, mainly forests, accounts for only 6% of these carbon gains. Until now, forests were considered to be the main carbon sinks. Terrestrial carbon sequestration mitigates 30% of ...
