Plants may stop absorbing carbon if temperatures continue to rise
Rising temperatures make plants lose more water, weakening their ability to absorb carbon dioxide and survive heat stress.
The Arctic Has Long Been a Carbon-Capture Giant, but That’s Starting to Change
The world is adept at balancing the warming gases in its atmosphere, but anthropogenic climate change is challenging this ...

New England's salt marshes store 10 million cars' worth of carbon—and add another 15,000 cars' worth every year
While scientists have long known that coastal salt marshes are just such a sink for "blue carbon," or carbon stored in the ocean and coastal ecosystems, it has been difficult to get an accurate ...
