The trunks and branches of trees in Australia's tropical rainforests—also known as woody biomass—have become a net source of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, according to a new international study.

A team of international scientists led by researchers from Australian universities has found the first evidence that woody biomass in tropical rainforests is acting as a long-term source of carbon ...

Forests are central to the Earth’s carbon balance, serving as the largest terrestrial carbon sinks and removing approximately one-fifth of anthropogenic CO₂ ...

More than half of Earth’s soil carbon lies deeper than scientists usually measure, potentially reshaping climate models.

Wetlands stand as immensely important carbon sinks within the global ecosystem, instrumental in absorbing greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and mitigating the consequences of global warming.

Tropical forests store more than 60% of the world's vegetation biomass and are among the most important ecosystems for regulating the global carbon cycle and climate. However, their regulatory role is ...

Beavers are emerging as unlikely climate champions after scientists discovered their dams and wetlands can trap huge amounts ...

Beavers could engineer riverbeds into promising carbon dioxide sinks, according to a new international study led by researchers at the University of Birmingham. The paper, published in Communications ...
