The trees exchange carbon dioxide and oxygen with the atmosphere through little “mouths” in their leaves and tiny “windows” ...

Certain species of ground squirrels hibernate underground without any food or water for up to eight months of the year. It’s a super-extreme survival strategy, enabled by a complicated cascade of ...

Our not-to-distant future relatives could be in for a rough ride even if we manage to curb our carbon emissions, a new study ...

It is commonly assumed that as forest ecosystems age, they accumulate and store, or "sequester," more carbon. A new study based at the University of Michigan Biological Station untangled carbon ...

Scientists at Goethe University uncover how the oldest enzyme in cellular respiration functions – opening the door to ...

That process, called carbon fixation, resulted in the assembly of two three-carbon molecules called 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA ...

Ancient microbes illustrate a particular kind of respiration in which carbon dioxide and hydrogen are combined to form acetic ...

Introduction: the need for advanced monitoring in shake flasks. Shake flasks have been a cornerstone of biotechnological ...

A team of scientists have elucidated an ancient mechanism of cellular respiration. To that end, they studied bacteria that feed on the gases carbon dioxide and hydrogen, and turn them into acetic acid ...

The synergistic effects of forest structure, the composition of the tree and fungal communities and soil biogeochemical ...

It is commonly assumed that as forest ecosystems age, they accumulate and store (sequester) more carbon. A study based at the ...
