A new global study reveals that ancient carbon, once thought securely stored in soils and rocks, is leaking into the ...

According to the Arbor Day Foundation, a single mature tree can soak up more than 48 pounds of carbon dioxide from the air each year, and an acre of mature trees can absorb the amount of CO2 ...

This video breaks down the crucial role trees play in carbon capture, acting as nature’s funnel between the atmosphere and the earth. It explores the science of carbon isotopes, showing how ...

The carbon-capture solution has a great name. We call it a tree. That’s why planting a lot of trees is one of the short list of climate solutions that will work. The earth used to have about six ...

With fewer surrounding trees to compete with, the tree stems in logged forests are able to grow and take up carbon dioxide at a faster rate than stems in unlogged forests, but this faster growth ...

University of Queensland research shows emissions from the global chocolate industry could be reduced by growing more shade ...

Lightning kills about 320 million trees yearly, especially tall ones in tropical forests. It releases up to 1.09 billion tons ...

The company can then sell even more carbon stored in the trees by comparing it to a kind of alternate reality— also known as a counterfactual scenario—formed through projections.

Getting the fungi associated with the Christmas trees is actually quite a nice way to reduce the carbon impact.” A milk cap mushroom. Courtesy of Mycorrhizal Systems Ltd.

HAYWARD -- A Bay Area biotech startup is fighting climate change by genetically enhancing the ability of trees to capture and store carbon dioxide. Nearly a third of the world's land is covered in ...

Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere are steadily rising because of human activities, which is wreaking havoc on the environment. Some of that excess carbon can also be stored in the so-called ...

Shrubs store less carbon than trees but play an important role in restoration. Their tangle of branches and leaves can offer safe harbour for smaller birds, for instance.
