The first strategy proposes to price nature, often described in terms of “natural capital” or “ecosystem services,” intended ...

It’s often assumed that all soil organic carbon ultimately derives from recent vegetation, but researchers argue that carbon inherited from parent rocks can be important and deserves more focus.

A lush, healthy lawn doesn't happen by accident. It's the result of thoughtful preparation—and fertilizing at the right time ...

Frequent heat and drought events in southwestern Europe are reducing ecosystems' capacity to absorb CO₂, according to a ...

Scientists have analyzed whether planting turf and clover beneath solar panels can increase soil organic carbon, after measuring the results from a commercial plant in Japan. They tested more than 20 ...

Analysis from the Curiosity rover provides powerful evidence that Mars once maintained a robust carbon cycle. This discovery opens new possibilities about whether life could have thrived there ...

potentially shedding light on the Red Planet’s ancient carbon cycle and its past habitability. Though Mars is now cold and barren, geological features such as dry riverbeds and sediment layers suggest ...

thus participating in the soil carbon cycle and making important contributions to maintaining soil ecological balance. Significant differences were observed in bacterial biomarkers between continuous ...

have just wrapped up the first stage of the development of a satellite-assisted tool that will allow it to estimate levels of soil carbon on remote country with measurable accuracy.

"Remember that nitrogen gets pulled out of the soil during the decomposition cycle ... carbon or "browns" and nitrogen "greens" to break down properly. Browns are leaves, newspaper, shredded wood and ...

Increasing soil organic carbon (SOC) in cropland soils improves soil health and water quality, crop productivity, and resilience to climate-driven changes by influencing key soil processes. However, ...
