Rivers, lakes and wetlands are important factors for climate change, which should have a place in conceptual models of the global carbon cycle. A broader concept of a 'boundless carbon cycle ...

Autotrophs participate in the carbon cycle by fixing carbon dioxide to produce the biomass that all other organisms use for life. Four autotrophic carbon-fixation pathways were already known and ...

A Nebraska research team recently published a study in Communications Earth and Environment that is one of the first to show ...

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are known to be contaminants originating in industrial processes and materials, as well as ...

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 ...

an important fuel for other sediment-dwelling organisms such as methanogens (which include marine archaea) and heterotrophic bacteria. The products of these organisms feed back into the carbon cycle ...

A modeling study estimates that by drastically reducing fish biomass over the past century, industrial fishing may be affecting ocean chemistry, nutrient fluxes, and carbon cycling as much as climate ...

Dead organisms are broken down into smaller pieces by the process of decay. Organisms such as earthworms are involved in this process.

Volatile organic compounds (VOC), usually associated with poor indoor air, were discovered in Finland in a borehole more than two kilometres deep. Previously, groundwater dating back tens of millions ...

The marine chemist is an expert in biogeochemical seabed processes and lead author of the new study on the seagrass carbon cycle. "However, as seagrass meadows are particularly widespread in warm ...
