Microorganisms Boost Levels of Carbon Storage in Soil
Microorganisms increase the level of carbon storage in the soil, making them key players in mitigating the effects of climate change.
The Mysteries of Carbon-Imbued Silver
Carbon dioxide is a common greenhouse gas that can be reduced through exposure to green light. Carbon-imbued silver has many possible applications.
Forests Alone Can’t Stop Climate Change
Ecologist Nicolas Medina explains how fossil-fuel use impacts forests and drives climate change. Carbon may run deeper than you think,…

Is there a way to capture excess carbon dioxide and chemically trap it underground to mitigate the effects of climate…
Soil Carbon Unstable After Clear-Cutting
Clear-cutting is chopping down all the trees in an area, as opposed to selective logging, which is removing only the mature trees.
Land Carbon Released During Last Deglaciation Period
Our planet has been going through glacial periods for ages. What does that mean for land carbon and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
