Tiny, single-celled phytoplankton called Prochlorococcus marinus shed specific molecular building blocks that feed vast networks of ocean bacteria, shaping how carbon moves through marine ecosystems.

Phytoplankton are key players in the ocean carbon cycle. Comprised of a variety of microscopic photosynthesizing bacteria, algae, and other single-cell organisms, phytoplankton form the base of marine ...

There is growing interest in the scientific community and private sector in biological approaches to marine carbon dioxide ...

Beaver-built wetlands can store carbon in stream sediments up to 10 times faster than unmodified waterways, according to a ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A team in Taiwan has engineered a new way for plants to absorb and use carbon dioxide, potentially reshaping the fight against ...

In the midst of the COVID pandemic, scientists embarked on an ambitious research expedition to the North Atlantic to investigate the inner workings of the ocean’s carbon cycle. A series of storms ...

Rivers are a primary source of the plastics that clog oceanic ecosystems and contribute to the continent-sized Great Pacific garbage patch. Broken-down plastics cycle through ecosystems, accumulating ...

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.

Mars has not always been a seemingly lifeless red desert. We have evidence that billions of years ago it had a warm, habitable climate with liquid water in lakes and flowing rivers, which is somewhat ...

A perspective article by international scientists underscores a critical new dimension to the global plastic crisis: Plastic pollution is not just harming wildlife and human health, but also ...
