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

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 IAEA Environment Laboratories apply nuclear and ...

Princeton University and Xiamen University researchers report that in tropical and subtropical oligotrophic waters, ocean ...

Our concept of a 'boundless carbon cycle' would encourage policymakers to better appreciate the couplings between land and water and between the hydrological cycle and the carbon cycle.

For the first time in recorded history the system that moves water around the planet is off balance, according to a landmark new report. Water moves around the world in "atmospheric rivers" as ...

This process, called photosynthesis, is essential to the global carbon cycle and organisms that conduct photosynthesis represent the lowest level in most food chains (Figure 1). Most living things ...

the process green plants use sunlight to absorb nutrients from carbon dioxide and water. This cycle therefore steadily speeds up oxygen production over the passage of Earth's history. The research ...

A new publication by researchers from the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Oxford shows that the relationship between water temperature and the main biological mechanism by which ...
