The soils of northern forests are key reservoirs that help keep the carbon dioxide that trees inhale and use for photosynthesis from making it back into the atmosphere. The soils of northern forests ...

With 2,500 billion tons of carbon, soil is one of Earth's largest carbon sinks. Researchers used experiments and computational modeling to study interactions between carbon molecules and clay minerals ...

While scientists have long known that iron oxide minerals help lock away enormous amounts of carbon—sequestering it from the ...

In 2022, humans emitted a staggering 36 gigatons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Along with reducing emissions, removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is a key climate mitigation strategy.

Recent studies have shown that carbon stocks in terrestrial ecosystems are increasing, mitigating around 30% of the CO 2 emissions linked to human activities. The overall value of carbon sinks on the ...

In the fight against climate change, understanding how carbon is stored in the soil is crucial. Recent research has revealed intricate mechanisms by which iron-rich minerals, specifically ferrihydrite ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Until humans can find a way to geoengineer ourselves out of the climate disaster we’ve created, we must rely on natural carbon sinks, such as oceans and forests, to suck carbon ...

Scientists reveal how iron-rich soil minerals chemically trap carbon using multiple nanoscale bonding mechanisms.

The soils of northern forests are key reservoirs that help keep the carbon dioxide that trees inhale and use for photosynthesis from making it back into the atmosphere. But a unique experiment led by ...
