Global heating over this millennium could exceed previous estimates due to carbon cycle feedback loops. This is the ...

Carbon, a building block of life, is constantly moving through different environmental compartments such as biota, the atmosphere, the ocean, soil and sediment, as part of what is called ‘the global ...

The Community Earth System Model is unique because it also incorporates agricultural processes. Lombardozzi said that Earth system models must represent agriculture, in particular agricultural ...

The terrestrial biosphere is assumed to take up most of the carbon on land. However, it is becoming clear that inland waters process large amounts of organic carbon and must be considered in ...

Carbon cycle–climate feedbacks are expected to diminish the size of the terrestrial carbon sink over the next century. Model simulations suggest that nitrogen availability is likely to play a ...

A recent study introduces the Spectrum Transformer (SpT) model, a novel AI-driven approach for retrieving atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) concentrations from satellite-measured spectra.

According to a predictive model, the microalgae present in peat bogs could offset up to 14% of future CO2 emissions, thanks to their photosynthetic activity. This conclusion was reached by basing the ...

Carbon dioxide concentrations were set at 400 µatm to simulate present-day ambient levels and 700 µatm to reflect projected acidification under moderate-emission scenarios.

Annual carbon cycle fluctuations indicate how much the biosphere is growing every year, Lombardozzi explained. As plants grow in the spring, they draw carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
