A Dec. 29, 2022, Facebook post (direct link, archive link) features a photosynthesis diagram, with a plant using light and carbon dioxide to produce oxygen and carbohydrates. "Remember science," reads ...

How much carbon dioxide (CO2) do plants absorb from the atmosphere? This is what a recent study published in Nature hopes to address as a team of researchers investigated what’s known as the ...

Plants may be better at mopping up the carbon dioxide we keep spilling into the atmosphere than scientists first thought, according to new research. Ecological modeling has shown that our leafy ...

New research published in Science Advances paints an uncharacteristically upbeat picture for the planet. This is because more realistic ecological modeling suggests the world's plants may be able to ...

Living Carbon is a startup funded with $36 million that just planted a forest of genetically modified trees to absorb more carbon. Living Carbon is a San Francisco-based biotechnology company that ...

Global warming drying the air may have slowed a rising rate of photosynthesis around the world. With this plant process involving the uptake of carbon dioxide, some researchers hoped that a boost to ...

Plants, key players in climate regulation, could see their role disrupted by global warming. A study reveals that rising ...

Discover how oceans, living organisms, and plants naturally absorb carbon dioxide and why plants play a vital role in our planet’s balance. Explore the groundbreaking invention by physicist Klaus ...

The last time the atmosphere contained as much carbon dioxide as it does now, dinosaurs roamed what was then a verdant landscape. The earth’s lushness was at least partly caused by the abundance of ...

Plants absorb less carbon dioxide than scientists once thought, according to new research that suggests Earth’s natural carbon buffer is weaker than many climate models assume. For decades, rising ...
