Platetectonics, or the gradual movement of Earth’s crust relative to its mantle, produces two effects that are critical for carbon cycling. First, plate movement closes the slow carbon cycle by gradually recycling surface rocks, into CO2throughvolcanism. Second, changes in the geographic configurati...
Hurricanes cause severe impacts on forest ecosystems in the United States. These events can substantially alter the carbon biogeochemical cycle at local to regional scales. We selected all tropical storms and more severe events that made U.S. landfall be
Chinese forests cover most of the representative forest types in the Northern Hemisphere and function as a large carbon (C) sink in the global C cycle. The availability of long-term C dynamics observations is key to evaluating and understanding C sequestration of these forests. The Chinese Ecosys...

The article focuses on carbon cycle. Other than the flow of water, no mechanism in nature is more crucial than the circulation of carbon between air, land, and water. Only four forms of pure carbon are known - diamond, graphite, amorphous carbon, such as...
Information related to carbon cycle includes: • Terrestrial Carbon Sequestration Data Sets • Area and Carbon Content of Sphagnum Since Last Glacial Maximum (2002) (Trends Online) • Carbon Dioxide Emissions from Fossil-Fuel Consumption and Cement Manufacture, (2002) (Trends Online) • ...
Patterns of soil organic carbon (SOC) storage and density in various soil types or locations are the foundation for examining the role of soil in the global carbon cycle. An assessment of SOC storage and density patterns in China based on soil types as defined by Chinese Soil Taxonomy (CST)...
Carbon cycle change Carbon isotope ratio Ediacaran to Cambrian Oxygen level Evolution of life 1. Introduction In the Ediacaran period, two biological and environmental changes took place before the Cambrian explosion of the metazoan. First, macroscopic fossils of multicellular organisms with sizes exceedin...
