A new review reveals how tiny shell-building plankton quietly drive carbon cycling and influence global climate change.

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 ...

Permafrost thaw can stimulate the release of soil carbon, triggering a positive carbon-climate feedback that may be mediated ...

The ocean's smallest engineers, calcifying plankton, quietly regulate Earth's thermostat by capturing and cycling carbon.

Researchers have developed a light-emitting sugar probe that exposes how marine microbes break down complex carbohydrates.

A refined mathematical model is now capable of predicting carbon inputs and outputs for freshwater lakes around the world, according to new research from INSTAAR’s Isabella Oleksy and collaborators.

Atmospheric carbon dioxide levels rose by a record amount in 2024, reaching new highs and locking in further long-term ...
