Dead organisms are broken down into smaller pieces by the process of decay. Organisms such as earthworms are involved in this process.

This process, called photosynthesis, is essential to the global carbon cycle and organisms that conduct photosynthesis represent the lowest level in most food chains (Figure 1). Most living things ...

The carbon cycle is the biogeochemical cycle focused on carbon and how it is sequestered in and moves between different reservoirs in the Earth system. A range of non-methane volatile organic ...

as part of what is called ‘the global carbon cycle.’ A change in any of these fluxes could have wide-ranging impacts on ecosystems and our climate. The IAEA Environment Laboratories apply nuclear and ...

We call this a ‘life cycle ... up sunlight and carbon dioxide from the air. This produces food for the plant. We call this ‘Photosynthesis’. At the plants adult stage flowers start ...

Whole-life carbon (WLC) emissions from buildings, encompassing both operational and embodied emissions, contribute 40 % of global CO2 emissions. Policy efforts have largely focused on operational ...

Although many carbon capture methods are still in their early stages, with researchers from ... has the potential to close the carbon cycle. For example, when methane is burned to generate energy ...

Clarifying the dynamic changes of SOC across the forest successional series will provide insights into the global soil carbon cycle and improve ... forest successional stage, and the mixed forest ...

Globally, over 600 million people are infected with the skin-penetrating threadworm, Strongyloides stercoralis, mostly in tropical and subtropical regions with poor sanitation infrastructure.
