Heating alone won’t drive soil microbes to release more carbon dioxide — they need added carbon and nutrients to thrive. This finding challenges assumptions about how climate warming influences soil ...

Global warming has picked up speed over the past decade, and the consequences are no longer confined to glaciers or distant ...

Scientists may be underestimating how plants will respond to rising global temperatures when they study hot summers but not warming winters, Michigan State University ecologists have found. Subscribe ...

New research suggests devastating climate outcomes that are typically associated with extreme global warming could hit even ...

The Arctic Ocean was once an important source of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere — and it could become one again, researchers warn. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

A new study reports that climate warming can increase soil carbon accumulation in boreal Sphagnum peatlands by boosting plant productivity, protecting iron, and inhibiting microbial decomposition.

Earth’s top 2 meters (6 feet) of soil hold 2.5 trillion metric tons of carbon — more than is held in living vegetation and the atmosphere combined. But soil carbon sinks are under threat — global ...

Despite rapid progress in clean energy and electric vehicles, the world is still warming faster than ever. The good news is that we already have powerful ways to reduce the warming rate – if ...

The agency asked five climate skeptics to write a report criticizing the consensus on global warming. Scientists are pointing out its errors. By Maxine Joselow and Brad Plumer Reporting from ...
