Historically, the methods available for measuring phenological changes across ecosystems have been less than ideal

Continental shelves are an increasing global sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide

Three scientists have proposed a new approach to better understand the role of soil organic matter in long-term carbon storage and its response to changes in global climate and atmospheric chemistry

The researchers used leaf litter data in streams from 1,025 publications

In a recent study,  trees acclimated to warmer temperatures and increased their carbon emissions less than expected

Research focused on ocean muck provides more understanding of the Earth's carbon cycle

Emerging understanding of soil organic matter could assist today’s scientists by accurately accounting for soil carbon, helping to better forecast climate change
