A global analysis reveals that most carbon dioxide emitted by rivers derives not from modern plant material, as was thought, but from ancient, buried carbon. A global analysis reveals that most ...

It can take as long as 200 million years for carbon to move through abiotic elements such as rocks, soil, and oceans. Thus, this circulation of carbon is known as the slow carbon cycle.

(While vegetation growth will take up more carbon, a 2016 survey of experts concluded that Arctic greening won’t be nearly enough to offset permafrost thaw.) The vegetation is drawing animals north.

It was a simple and powerful demonstration. At the end, he concluded that by burning fossil fuels, we move carbon from the slow, old carbon cycle to the fast, young carbon cycle. The talk shaped the ...

Marine snow—a mixture of dead plankton, waste, mucus, and other organic material slowly sinking from the ocean’s surface—is an important, but poorly understood, part of the ocean carbon cycle.

The world’s sawmills and plantation forests offer a powerful weapon against climate change, a new study has found. A paper ...
