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

Carbon, a building block of life, is constantly moving through different environmental compartments such as biota, the atmosphere, the ocean, soil and sediment, as part of what is called ‘the global ...

Autotrophs participate in the carbon cycle by fixing carbon dioxide to produce the biomass ... sequences were found after searching the Global Ocean Sampling dataset; mesophilic marine archaea ...

That’s caused ocean CO2 levels to rise ... and other forms of sea life interact sheds light on Earth’s carbon cycle. Carbon, a chemical element, is found in all organic matter on Earth ...

Researchers have been exploring ocean alkalinity enhancement for the last five years. It's a way to remove carbon from our ...

A group of scientists from the University of Oldenburg, Germany, has discovered how special bacteria in the ocean break down ...

It could help remove excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and rebalance the carbon cycle. It could also counteract ocean acidification. Not really. Here's why. Trees, soils and the ocean all ...

The other half is removed from the atmosphere by terrestrial ecosystems and the ocean. Without these two repositories called “carbon sinks” by scientists, carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere would ...

Known as "marine snow," this shower of biogenic particulate material transfers an estimated 10 billion tonnes of carbon every year into the ocean's interior, roughly the same amount as that ...

Ocean acidification is mainly caused by carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere dissolving into the ocean. This leads to a lowering of the water's pH, making the ocean more acidic. Carbon dioxide is ...

(C) In the coastal ocean, photosynthesis, decomposition and re-exchanging of CO2 with the atmosphere still continue. Solid organic carbon (e.g., soil particles, phytoplankton cells) is buried in ...
