Eventually, it becomes sediment that feeds plant growth. This is called the slow carbon cycle. This gecko is part of the fast carbon cycle. Credit: Leon Pauleikhoff/Unsplash The fast carbon cycle ...

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

This process, called photosynthesis, is essential to the global carbon cycle and organisms that conduct photosynthesis represent the lowest level in most food chains (Figure 1). Most living things ...
