Carbon storage by the ocean and by the land is usually quantified separately, and does not fully take into account the land-to-ocean transport of carbon through inland waters, estuaries, tidal wetlands and continental shelf waters—the ‘land-to-ocean aq

The deep biosphere is believed to host some of the most ancient evolutionary lineages2,15 and has been proposed to have held the majority of Earth’s live biomass prior to plant colonization of land ~400 Ma ago16. This suggests that deep environments, including ocean floors, have dominated...
Life most likely developed under hyperthermic and anaerobic conditions in close vicinity to a stable geochemical source of energy. Epitomizing this conception, the first cells may have arisen in submarine hydrothermal vents in the middle of a gradient es
Defined as “Earth’s underpinning natural systems that provide the essential life sustaining ecosystem services such as food, fuel, water, and shelter, on which the human civilization depends” [40], the biosphere (with its three constituent parts—the atmosphere, the hydrosphere, and the lithosph...
