returning carbon and nitrogen to the atmosphere and soil for reuse. A balanced carbon cycle is essential. Carbon is a major component in carbohydrates, fats and proteins. The carbon cycle involves ...

Moreover, carbon–nitrogen interactions affect the potential for positive and negative feedbacks between the carbon cycle and the climate system, and therefore need to be incorporated in models ...

Mesoscale eddies, oceanic gyres about 100 kilometers in diameter, are ubiquitous features of the global ocean and play a ...

If you're walking outdoors, chances are something remarkable is happening under your feet. Vast fungal networks are silently working to keep ecosystems alive.

How is organic matter transported from productive coastal areas to the open ocean? Researchers have now shown that eddies play a crucial role in this process. The swirling currents contain large ...
