If climate change continues to rapidly weaken the planet’s ocean and land carbon sinks, it will be even more difficult to avoid dangerous levels of warming. The ocean currently absorbs a quarter ...
The distribution of sources and sinks at land and ocean surfaces is then optimized for observed atmospheric CO 2 concentrations. This approach has confirmed the location of the residual carbon ...
This chemical reaction makes the ocean the planet’s largest carbon sink, a term referring to a natural or man-made reservoir that absorbs more carbon than it releases. The new technology aims to ...
Kiel. How can seagrass help combat climate change? This question is the focus of the new research project ZOBLUC (“Zostera marina as a Blue Carbon Sink in the Baltic Sea”), which now starts under the ...
Afforestation and reforestation can provide short-term sinks to slow warming and possibly give us more time to find solutions, but ultimately we need to get the carbon into the ocean or geologic ...
When critters die, the carbon and nutrients in their bodies either becomes part of the food chain or sinks to the ocean floor. Carbon is stored At the bottom of the ocean, bacteria works to ...
These sink to the ocean floor when they die, contributing to long-term carbon storage. Yet, the factors driving calcification remain poorly understood. This new study focused on Trilobatus ...
