Forest soils are releasing more carbon than previously believed. Warming temperatures cause stable soil organic matter to ...
New research is changing how scientists view the ground beneath rugged terrain. A study led by researchers at the University ...
The world's longest-running soil warming experiment has revealed an unexpected climate concern. After nearly four decades, ...
Scientists know iron oxide minerals store large amounts of carbon in soils, but lack a detailed, quantitative understanding of the specific chemical mechanisms that allow them to bind such a wide ...
Tropical forests exchange more CO2 with the atmosphere than any other terrestrial biome, meaning that even a relatively small shift in the balance of carbon uptake and release there could have a big ...
How sensitively does organic carbon stored in soils react to changes in temperature and humidity? This question is central to a new study now published in Nature Communications. The work involved ...
PFOA and PFOS contaminants initially accelerate carbon release from soil by rapidly consuming key nutrients, but this leads to a long-term deficit that stalls essential microbial activity The ...
Soil health is more than just a definition; it’s a functional powerhouse for agriculture. Gerhard du Preez, an associate ...
A new study has revealed for the first time that ancient carbon, stored in landscapes for thousands of years or more, can find its way back to the atmosphere as CO₂ released from the surfaces of ...
A new study demonstrates that ramped pyrolysis/oxidation can distinguish the sources of carbon transported by rivers after extreme events.When an ...
