Scientists examine a large dike, formed from a sheet of magma that came to Earth’s surface millions of years ago during the Columbia River Basalt eruptions. These dikes fed magma to massive eruptions.

Ancient sediments reveal how rapid warming collapsed Arctic forests in centuries, triggering fires, erosion, and long-lasting ...

The amount of carbon dioxide (CO 2) released by microbial decomposition of soil organic carbon on a global scale is ...

Peatlands make up just 3% of Earth's land surface but store more than 30% of the world's soil carbon, preserving organic matter and sequestering its carbon for tens of thousands of years. A new study ...

Rivers have long played a key role in the planet’s carbon cycle. They move and release gases like carbon dioxide (CO₂) and methane (CH₄), connecting land, air, and ocean systems. Until recently, ...

Long-term data from real forests indicate leaf stomata constrain gains: carbon uptake is traded for water, keeping biomass and storage uneven.

New research reveals the amount of carbon dioxide released by trees into the atmosphere under a warming climate could be considerably less than currently predicted. Published in Science, the new ...

The claim: Antarctica hasn't warmed for over 70 years because humans have only contributed 40 ppm of CO2 to the atmosphere A Dec. 1 Instagram video (direct link, archive link) shows a headline that ...
