Nature's carbon-capturing machines are working overtime. Plants worldwide are absorbing about 31% more carbon dioxide than scientists previously estimated, according to research published in Nature.

While a single plant is capable of fixing inorganic carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air, the entire ecosystem surrounding the ...

We also need to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide gas that already exists in our environment. This is why trees and other plants are so important. They absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere ...

A study from the U.S. Geological Survey found the ecosystems on California's public lands are losing the carbon they've ...

They absorb carbon dioxide from the air while releasing water vapour and oxygen via photosynthesis – the process by which plants take in carbon dioxide and fix energy. Because of this ...

A new study suggests regions of the Arctic tundra are now releasing more planet-warming gases than they absorb, upending a millennia-old trend. The study published in academic journal Nature Climate ...
