According to a predictive model, the microalgae present in peat bogs could offset up to 14% of future CO2 emissions, thanks to their photosynthetic activity. This conclusion was reached by basing the ...

Hurricanes move massive amounts of sediment from shallow reefs to deep oceans, affecting ecosystems long-term.

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

The impact of hurricanes when they travel over land, or when they affect ships or oil-drilling platforms, are quite well ...

I recently visited the blue whales in the Sea of Cortez near Loreto, Mexico. These majestic mammals, the largest among us, are 85 feet long. They are an endangered species.

Ocean ecosystems play a critical role in carbon ... seagrasses and other forms of sea life interact sheds light on Earth’s carbon cycle. Carbon, a chemical element, is found in all organic ...

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

According to a predictive model developed by a CNRS researcher1 and his European colleagues, the microalgae present in peat bogs could offset up to ...

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