Rainforests store less CO2 due to water scarcity.
Tropical rainforests absorb significantly less CO? from the atmosphere during periods of water scarcity, a feedback effect that has not been accounted for in most
Rain in Dry Zones Increases CO2
The dry regions of the Earth are affecting CO2 concentrations more than previously thought. When it rains at the end of the dry season on
Asymmetric Effects of CO2 Emissions
A new study by the Simon Fraser University has revealed that the removal of CO2 from the atmosphere may be less effective than previously thought.
Earth’s complete carbon balance created
The Earth contains a total of 1.85 billion gigatons of carbon, with 99.9% of it being located below the surface. Of the 43,500 gigatons on
Ocean’s CO2 sink still intact
The world’s oceans have absorbed 34 billion tons of CO2 between 1994 and 2007, equivalent to one-third of human-made CO2 emissions. While the oceans continue
Atlantic’s CO2 absorption declining
The Atlantic Ocean’s buffering effect on carbon dioxide (CO2) is weakening due to a slowdown in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), according to a
Single-celled organism wiped out 90% of species
Over 90% of all living species on Earth were wiped out by the mass extinction event at the Permian-Triassic boundary around 251 million years ago.
