3 days ago · The ocean’s biological carbon pump (BCP) is a key mechanism for the ocean’s uptake and sequestration of CO 2 from the atmosphere. It comprises the fixation of CO 2 through photosynthesis in ...
1 day ago · The ML depth is defined as the shallower of the depth calculated by temperature (ML temp depth, 0.3°C) or density (ML dens depth, 0.03 kg m −3) using a reference to 10 m in both cases. The maximum vertical gradients of chl in each profile are used to define the ML bio depth, because it is thought that this better represents the features of ...

23 hours ago · PBs thus define the biophysical safe operating space, providing a good chance of holding the Earth system in a Holocene-like state. If we stay within PBs, we can avoid crossing tipping points that may lead to interactions and feedbacks which convert Earth from self-cooling to self-warming.
1 day ago · A Chinese study found that mixed forests are able to store a higher amount of carbon due to the greater accumulation of wood debris. by Matteo Cavallito. Mixed forests tend to capture and store more organic carbon in the soil than other woodlands. This is suggested by a study published in the journal Forest Ecosystems.
4 days ago · Global estimates show that soils store more carbon than the atmosphere and plants combined. Despite the obvious importance of soils in global carbon cycling, there remain critical gaps in our knowledge of the sequestration of long-lived carbon stores.
1 day ago · Definitions. Desertification is a gradual process of increased soil aridity. Desertification has been defined in the text of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) as "land degradation in arid, semi-arid and dry sub-humid regions resulting from various factors, including climatic variations and human activities."
