Models of the global carbon cycle typically include plants, microbes, soil, and the atmosphere. But they may be leaving out an important variable: Animals, from earthworms to elephants, can have a ...

In the top-down approach, the carbon balance from an atmospheric perspective is compiled by running an atmospheric transport model (the so ... of the global carbon cycle. A broader concept of ...

According to a predictive model developed by a CNRS researcher1 and his European colleagues, the microalgae present in peat bogs could offset up to ...

Research reveals agriculture's surprising role in carbon dioxide fluctuations, driven by nitrogen fertilizer and overlooked ...

The Community Earth System Model is unique because it also incorporates agricultural processes. Lombardozzi said that Earth system models must represent agriculture, in particular agricultural ...

Carbon cycle–climate feedbacks are expected to diminish the size of the terrestrial carbon sink over the next century. Model simulations suggest that nitrogen availability is likely to play a ...

as part of what is called ‘the global carbon cycle.’ A change in any of these fluxes could have wide-ranging impacts on ecosystems and our climate. The IAEA Environment Laboratories apply nuclear and ...

Carbon dioxide concentrations were set at 400 µatm to simulate present-day ambient levels and 700 µatm to reflect projected acidification under moderate-emission scenarios. Results showed a ...
