Rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2) represent an urgent global issue, with communities already experiencing more extreme weather because of a changing climate. One strategy that ...
In a step toward better understanding how the ocean sequesters carbon, new findings from UC Santa Barbara researchers and collaborators challenge the current view of how carbon dioxide is “fixed” in ...
High levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide intensify climate change, but high carbon dioxide levels can also stimulate plant growth. Plant growth removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, partially ...
Red alder is a nitrogen-fixing plant species. Photo by Steven Perakis. CORVALLIS, Ore. – A new study indicates that forests, prairies and other natural areas around the globe acquire less nitrogen ...
Microbes can provide a more sustainable and energy-efficient method of food and nutrient production compared to plant and animal sources, but energy-intensive carbon (e.g., sugars) and nitrogen (e.g., ...
This image shows a comparison between the synthetic biology–engineered plant (right) and the wild-type plant. Dr. Liao’s team has developed a novel “McG plant” with a mechanism that recycles the ...
When it comes to diatoms that live in the ocean, new research suggests that photosynthesis is not the only strategy for accumulating carbon. Instead, these single-celled plankton are also building ...
