Scientists could never square theory with data on how certain organisms fixed carbon. Turns out they were asking the wrong ...

Researchers have uncovered surprising evidence that the deep ocean’s carbon-fixing engine works very differently than long ...

Soil microbes remove carbon from the atmosphere and store it underground, revealing an overlooked pathway for storage in ...

Soils do more than store carbon from plant residues. Beneath our feet, vast communities of microbes quietly pull carbon dioxide from the air and convert it into organic matter, helping regulate ...

In a step toward better understanding how the ocean sequesters carbon, new findings from UC Santa Barbara researchers and collaborators challenge the current view of how carbon dioxide is “fixed” in ...

The enzyme rubisco is found in all plants and other photosynthesizing organisms. It plays a key role in fixing carbon from the air and has helped shape life on Earth. Now researchers at UC Davis, UC ...

Schemata for obtaining photoautotrophic and chemoautotrophic taxonomic annotations from the metagenomic analyses (a), and method overview including the labeling chambers made of plexiglass and ...

In an effort to better understand how the ocean stores carbon, researchers at UC Santa Barbara and their collaborators have uncovered results that ...

Rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2) represent an urgent global issue, with communities already experiencing more extreme weather because of a changing climate. One strategy that ...

Sixteen years of remote sensing data reveals that in Earth’s largest freshwater lakes, climate change influences carbon fixation trends. NASA-funded research on the 11 largest freshwater lakes in the ...
