The authors generate ~1-km2 growth curves for aboveground live carbon in regrowing forests, globally. They show that maximum carbon removal rates can vary by 200-fold spatially and with age, with the ...

Two fully funded postdoctoral positions are now open in France to study the fate of rhizodeposits in carbon sequestration. Join ECOTRON or CEREGE to work on cutting-edge soil biogeochemistry research.

The number of scientific publications related to biomass carbon or soil organic carbon under various land management practices has globally and dramatically increased during the last two decades, the ...

Microbial life has dominated Earth’s history but left a sparse fossil record, greatly hindering our understanding of evolution in deep time. However, bacterial metabolism has left signatures in the ge...

Nature Biotechnology - An open letter to graduate students and other procrastinators: it’s time to write

Microplastic pollution is a growing threat to soils, but its effects on plant litter decomposition remains poorly understood. Particularly, it is uncl…

Aboveground ecosystem structure moderates and even confers essential ecosystem functions. This includes an ecosystem’s carbon dynamics, which are strongly influenced by its structure: for example, tro...

ORC Researcher Dr Colin Tosh recently developed a new framework for modelling the dynamics of agroecosystems, and here you are given full interactive access to these models.

We examined the potential of mixed-species planted forests compared to monospecific forests to act as a nature-based solution to climate change mitigation through carbon sequestration. By analysing m....

Background and aim Soil health is vital for the sustainability of ecosystem services such as food and fiber production, nutrient cycling and water supply. Soil health can be assessed through a combina...

Introducing “How the System Works,” a series on the hidden mechanisms that support modern life

Despite strong interest in using artificial intelligence to make research faster, easier and more accessible, researchers say they need more support to navigate its possibilities.
