Autotrophs participate in the carbon cycle by fixing carbon dioxide to produce the biomass that all other organisms use for life. Four autotrophic carbon-fixation pathways were already known and ...

Companies have been manufacturing synthetic fuels for nearly a century by combining carbon monoxide (which can be sourced from carbon dioxide) and hydrogen under high temperatures. But the hope is ...

According to a predictive model, the microalgae present in peat bogs could offset up to 14% of future CO2 emissions, thanks to their photosynthetic activity. This conclusion was reached by basing the ...

Carbon, a building block of life, is constantly moving through different environmental compartments such as biota, the atmosphere, the ocean, soil and sediment, as part of what is called ‘the global ...

Research has uncovered important new insights into the evolution of oxygen, carbon, and other vital elements over the entire history of Earth—and it could help assess which other planets can ...

Ocean ecosystems play a critical role in carbon storage and oxygen generation. Some of these ecosystems are under threat; others remain unexplored. Understanding how key players such as whales ...

Eukaryotic phytoplankton decline due to ocean acidification could significantly impact global carbon cycle by Justin Jackson , Phys.org ...
