Are we losing one of our biggest carbon dioxide sinks?

In a new study spanning coastal areas of the Northern Hemisphere, a coordinated research network led by MSc Emilia Röhr, Assoc. Prof. Christoffer Boström from Åbo Akademi University and Prof. Marianne Holmer from University ...

Forest carbon stocks have been overestimated for 50 years

Basic density is widely used to compute carbon storage by trees. A formula used to calculate basic wood density has recently been corrected. Researchers estimate that the error in the initial formula resulted in an overestimation ...

The challenge of estimating Alaska's soil carbon stocks

Predicting how carbon in the soil changes when permafrost changes isn't easy. Alaska's diverse terrain makes it difficult to optimize the placement of data-gathering sites. Researchers used a geospatial approach that integrates ...

Huge carbon stores under grasslands discovered

A nationwide survey by ecologists has revealed that over 2 billion US tons of carbon is stored deep under the UK's grasslands, helping to curb climate change.
