This means that carbon sequestration in the form of biomass decreases beyond ... "They are highly efficient at photosynthesis and can utilize even the weakest light to produce biomass from CO 2 and ...

Uttar Pradesh is pioneering agroforestry by providing advance payments to farmers for future carbon credits, incentivizing ...

Key characteristic: Dual carbon sequestration The material can be shaped using 3D printing and only requires sunlight and artificial seawater with readily available nutrients in addition to CO 2 ...

Understanding how photosynthesis, energy allocation and productivity differ in plants in various ecosystems is challenging. In the forest ecosystem, taller trees grow over decades to absorb all of ...

Some fig trees can convert atmospheric CO2 into calcium carbonate, a process known as the oxalate carbonate pathway, effectively turning CO2 into stone. The process of carbon sequestration allows fig ...

Some species of fig trees store calcium carbonate in their trunks—essentially turning themselves (partially) into stone, new research has found. The team of Kenyan, U.S., Austrian, and Swiss ...

Soil carbon storage is a vital ecosystem service, resulting from interactions of ecological processes. Human activities affecting these processes can lead to carbon loss or improved storage.

This phenomenon suggests that increased carbon-dioxide levels enhance plant growth by increasing photosynthesis, which inspired the researchers to take a deeper look at its impact.

Scientists have engineered a living, carbon-capturing material that can be shaped by 3D printing and hardened over time ...

Scientists have developed a material with photosynthetic bacteria that convert carbon dioxide into a mineral skeleton. The material hardens over time, so it could be used for buildings, they say.
