(A) Photosynthesis in land plants fixes atmospheric CO2 (inorganic carbon) as organic carbon, which is either stored as plant biomass or in soil, or is decomposed back to CO2 through plant and ...

A balanced carbon cycle is essential. Carbon is a major component in carbohydrates, fats and proteins. The carbon cycle involves the exchange of carbon between living organisms (biotic ...

"The important feature of the ancient Martian carbon cycle that we outline in this study ... have opened up a whole new way of understanding Mars. "I was trained as an aqueous geochemist and ...

Current practices in Life Cycle Assessments rely mostly on the embodied carbon ... time decision-support tool that can reliably inform practitioners about the whole life carbon of buildings at the ...

and heterotrophic bacteria. The products of these organisms feed back into the carbon cycle in marine sediments, where they may be consumed by other microbes.

Researchers have successfully launched a new satellite that is designed to study the planet's forests and "provide unprecedented insight" into how those regions impact the Earth's carbon cycle ...

ESA's Biomass satellite, designed to provide unprecedented insights into the world's forests and their crucial role in Earth's carbon cycle, has been launched. The satellite lifted off aboard a ...

In other words, these new results provide evidence for an ancient carbon cycle on Mars. Carbon cycles are the processes that transfer carbon dioxide between different reservoirs − such as rocks on the ...

Rivers, lakes and wetlands are important factors for climate change, which should have a place in conceptual models of the global carbon cycle. A broader concept of a 'boundless carbon cycle ...

as part of what is called ‘the global carbon cycle.’ A change in any of these fluxes could have wide-ranging impacts on ecosystems and our climate. The IAEA Environment Laboratories apply nuclear and ...
