Newswise — Seaweed farming has captured global attention as a potential solution to remove atmospheric carbon dioxide and offer eco-friendly alternatives to carbon-intensive food and industrial ...

A critical review in Plant and Soil finds that biochar could plausibly intercept labile root-exudate carbon and convert it ...

A soil-dwelling microbe has shown a surprising ability to trap carbon dioxide and turn it into rock. Scientists have discovered that Bacillus megaterium, a common bacterium long known for its role in ...

Harvard and Stanford researchers genetically engineered the marine bacterium Alteromonas macleodii to accelerate olivine weathering, boosting atmospheric carbon capture. Tested in custom bioreactors, ...

Deep in the soils of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, one of the planet’s most sensitive carbon reservoirs, a team of soil scientists has uncovered a finding that could force researchers to rethink how E ...

Researchers reveal how bacterial organelles self-assemble, uncovering enzyme structures that could drive advances in carbon capture, crop yields, and sustainable materials. (Nanowerk News) The ...

Tucked away in the most extreme nooks and crannies of the Earth are biodiverse galaxies of microorganisms — some that might help scour the atmosphere of the carbon dioxide mankind has pumped into it.

Two new studies have outlined novel ways to capture small amounts of carbon, and which could be scalable for larger applications. In one study, investigators developed a system that uses bacterial ...

Autotrophic carbon fixation by microorganisms underpins the entry of inorganic carbon into the biosphere, driving essential biogeochemical cycles from deep ocean trenches to soil horizons and ...

A new study shows that increasing plant diversity in agriculture can be used to improve the carbon sequestration potential of agricultural soils. As the agricultural sector strives to reduce its ...
