Tree Mortality May Lead to Carbon Tipping Point in the Amazon by 2050s
A new study suggests drought conditions in the Amazon rainforest over the rest of the century.
The Role of Community Conversation in Improving Air Quality
Collaboration between academic researchers and environmental justice organizations is key to mitigating emissions.
The Invisible Hand of Carbon Dioxide on Forest Productivity
A statistically robust approach applied to long-term flux measurements quantifies forest ecosystem response to increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide, providing a valuable benchmark for climate models.
Investigadores desarrollan el primer presupuesto integral de gases de efecto invernadero de México
Un nuevo estudio profundiza en dos décadas de datos para crear una cuantificación integral de fuentes de carbono, metano y óxido de nitrógeno que podrían ayudar a guiar las políticas climáticas.
Fifty-Three Experts Weigh in on the Global Methane Budget
A survey of experts revealed that uncertainty in estimates of global methane levels stems largely from data on fresh water, vegetation, and coastal areas.
How Soil Symbionts Could Unlock Climate-Smart Agriculture
By tracing the evolutionary history of beneficial soil microbes, scientists hope to unearth a sustainable solution for producing food to feed a growing global population.
Carbon Offset Programs Underestimate the Threat of Hurricanes
A single hurricane in New England could wipe out millions of metric tons of forest carbon.
Animals Deserve to Be Included in Global Carbon Cycle Models, Too
Because they are far less plentiful than plants and microbes, animals have typically been excluded from examinations of carbon exchange in the atmosphere. But new research shows they may have a considerable influence on carbon cycle dynamics.
Africa’s Carbon Sink Capacity Is Shrinking
A new estimate of Africa’s greenhouse gas budget from 2010 to 2019 shows increasing emissions from cropland expansion, livestock, and fossil fuel use—meaning the continent may have transitioned from an overall carbon sink to a slight carbon source.
