Plants are likely to absorb more carbon dioxide in a changing climate than we thought—here's why

The world's vegetation has a remarkable ability to absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air and store it as biomass. In doing so, plants slow down climate change since the CO2 they take up does not contribute to global warming.

A cost-efficient and transparent method to measure carbon dioxide emission estimates using GOSAT

Researchers in Japan and Mongolia have carried out the world's first instance of incorporating satellite-based CO2 emission estimates into a GHG emission report as the verification on the Second Biennial Update Report (BUR2) ...

Study projects how mountain climate systems will change with rising carbon dioxide

Mountains create their own weather or climate systems by changing airflow and precipitation patterns. Orographic, or mountain-influenced, precipitation occurs as moisture-laden air rises over the high topography; the air ...
