(A) Photosynthesis in land plants fixes atmospheric CO2 (inorganic carbon) as organic carbon, which is either stored as plant biomass or in soil, or is decomposed back to CO2 through plant and ...

The carbon cycle is the biogeochemical cycle focused ... mineral-associated soil organic carbon most efficiently, providing evidence that litter-microbial interactions and soil mineralogy regulate ...

Lake Geneva’s CO₂ emissions stem mainly from rock erosion, not organic matter, reshaping our understanding of lake carbon ...

This is followed by topics essential to understanding the carbon cycle, including organic geochemistry, air-sea gas exchange, diffusion and reaction kinetics, the marine and atmosphere carbon cycle ...

For the first time, UNIL scientists have successfully explained the complete carbon cycle in Lake Geneva, creating a model that can be applied to several of the world's largest lakes. Contrary to ...

Traditional scientific theories suggest that lake CO 2 emissions are primarily due to the influx of organic matter from ... "Our results not only explain the carbon cycle in Lake Geneva, they ...

A study from Peru shines new light on the environmental impact of green coffee production, exploring fertilizer and pulp ...

Organic soil horizons contain about one-third of the soil carbon. Therefore, the stability of boreal soils is critical to understanding global carbon cycle feedbacks to climate change and soil ...
