Deforested tropical rainforests have been found to replenish their carbon faster than their rich biodiversity. Research conducted…

While hugging a tree sounds relaxing, it’s harder than you might think - especially when the tree is 20 storeys high and 3 metres wide, it’s hot as hell, and you’re swatting away swarms of sweat bugs…
Deep soils store more carbon than previous estimates have suggested. Researchers took extensive samples down to 40 metres…
Investing in carbon sequestration in soil has been difficult because there is no accurate way to measure how well the carbon…
Carbon modelling is easier to create for surface cycles, but deep in the Earth’s crust things become a lot more difficult…
Leaves do shrink when they dry out, researchers from the University of Arizona have confirmed. The study has implications…
Carbon emissions are drawn deep into the Southern Ocean by plunging currents, scientists have found, challenging the idea that carbon is locked away from the atmosphere by being absorbed across vast areas…
If everyday items were labelled according to the carbon emissions embodied in them, would shoppers change what they buy? And if they did, would it make a difference in the grand scheme of things? Voluntary…
The Earth’s principal climatic zones appear to be shifting poleward. If this continues, as climate models project, the weather patterns that give rise to deserts in the subtropics, and stormy wet weather…
A carbon nanotube coating capable of of absorbing 99.9% of an object’s light has been developed by engineers. The coating…
Nitrogen found in rocks can boost tree growth and their ability to extract carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The study…
How often do we hear the argument that Australia’s moves to limit carbon emissions will achieve nothing unless China finally takes some action? This fails to recognise that China’s city mayors, the government…
The ability of land ecosystems like crops and soils to slow down climate change may have been overestimated because some of these ‘carbon sinks’ actually emit more greenhouse gases than first thought…
The carbon tax is short-term carrot and long-term stick. The Coalition’s campaign against “a great big new tax” drove Gillard to introduce a tax for which most people and businesses affected will be compensated…
Fire – one of nature’s primary carbon-cycling mechanisms – will become an increasingly important driver of atmospheric change…
The rate of release of carbon into the atmosphere is nearly ten times as fast as during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum…
It won’t surprise many people that world carbon emissions have failed to slow down, but the fact we’re now at risk of surpassing targets set for nine years hence, intended to limit the global rise in temperature…
The most important single number in the latest Garnaut Review is 26, the proposed starting value for the carbon tax, expressed in dollars per tonne of carbon dioxide emitted. By coincidence, this is exactly…
