For decades, soil carbon stability in these systems was thought to be governed by the enzyme latch theories7,8,9 which propose that polyphenols inhibit microbial decomposition under anoxic conditions to ‘dead end’ soil carbon cycling. Polyphenols are a chemically diverse and abundant10 group of ...
When plants and animals die, their remains break down. During this decomposition process, carbon is released back into the soil and air. Fossilization Over long periods, some carbon-containing remains of plants and animals become fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas, which are stored de...
The current generation of Earth system models used by the United Nations to project future climate scenarios (CMIP6) relies heavily on marine biogeochemical models to track the fate of carbon absorbed into the oceans. Here we compare 11 CMIP6 marine biogeochemical models and find the largest sourc...
Nutrient cycles, such as the carbon cycle, the water cycle, or the oxygen cycle, move nutrients between living things, the Earth, and the atmosphere. Nutrient cycles are natural processes, but they are being disrupted by human activities such as farming and burning fossil fuels....
The anaerobic process of decomposition (or fermentation) of organic matter has been happening in nature for millions of years, even before fossil fuels, and continues to happen all around us in the natural world. Today’s industrial conversion of organic waste into energy in biogas plants is sim...
As the frozen ground warms much faster than expected, it’s reshaping the landscape—and releasing carbon gases that fuel global warming.
But conditions have to be balanced for efficient decomposition. You have to make sure your compost pile gets: Plenty of air: Turn it every four to seven days, especially at first. Adequate water: It should be moist, but not soaking wet; give it a spray weekly. Proper mix of carbon to...
Fungi typically have a large number of symbiotic relationships with plants and direct the decomposition of recalcitrant carbon compounds (Schmidt et al., 2014). The relationship between bacterial/fungi and soil function has been extensively studied from laboratory experiments to land terrestrial ecosystems...
