Climate change is depleting vital ocean nutrients, disrupting marine ecosystems, and threatening food webs, a new study finds ...

Computer models reveal how human-driven climate change will dramatically overhaul critical nutrient cycles in the ocean. Researchers report evidence that marine nutrient cycles -- essential for ...

Newly discovered microbes living in the peatlands of the Peruvian Amazon could play a dual role in the carbon cycle. These tiny organisms have the potential to either stabilize carbon for storage or ...

He covers climate change, biodiversity ... researchers have launched a groundbreaking project to investigate "dark oxygen"—a form of oxygen produced in total darkness on the ocean floor.

Ocean ecosystems play a critical role in carbon storage and oxygen generation ... More CO2 leads to more warming, causing climate change. Animals release carbon in the form of CO2 when they ...

A change in any of these fluxes could have wide-ranging impacts on ecosystems and our climate. The IAEA Environment Laboratories apply nuclear and isotopic techniques to better understand the carbon ...

Scientists discovered microbes in Amazon peatlands that control carbon storage. If peatlands stay stable, they store carbon.

The ocean absorbs more than 93% of the earth’s warming from climate change. Warm water holds less oxygen than cold water, because the higher the temperature, the less soluble oxygen becomes. Warm ...

Changes in Earth's orbit have helped pace climatic change for millennia ... involve agents acting from outside the climate system (e.g., Milankovitch cycles). Internal mechanisms operate within ...
