Learn how the carbon cycle works and how greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane disrupt it, shaping climate change ...

As global temperatures continue to rise, scientists are working to understand how warming affects the planet’s carbon cycle.

This is the fourth article in a series about the mechanics of the natural carbon cycle. Please also see the overview article — Nature-Enhancing Solutions are the Key to Solving the Climate Crisis — ...

When it comes to diatoms that live in the ocean, new research suggests that photosynthesis is not the only strategy for accumulating carbon. Instead, these single-celled plankton are also building ...

A new method to convert waste plastic to fuel and raw materials promises to help close the carbon cycle at mild temperature and with high yield. There's a lot of potentially useful raw materials bound ...

The idea of animating the carbon cycle (ACC) is relatively new. The concept champions the role that healthy populations of wild animals, both terrestrial and marine, can play in boosting the ability ...

This image shows a comparison between the synthetic biology–engineered plant (right) and the wild-type plant. Dr. Liao’s team has developed a novel “McG plant” with a mechanism that recycles the ...
