Global warming: does planting trees really help?
In the collective imagination, trees slow down global warming by storing CO2 emitted by humans into the atmosphere. But, more and more scientific work suggests that things might not be…
A surprisingly powerful carbon sink in the Southern Ocean
Too many human activities are the source of carbon dioxide emissions. Fortunately, this CO2 is partially absorbed not only by plants, but also by the oceans. Slowing down anthropogenic global…
Soils with more fungi can store more carbon
Global warming and damage caused by intensive agriculture and deforestation. Some models now predict that 40% less carbon can be stored in soils by 2100 compared to what older simulations…
This carbon must absolutely remain trapped: mapping of areas to be protected
To avoid a climate catastrophe, we are going to have to decarbonize our economy. But also, counting on certain ecosystems to store carbon. And researchers are now offering us a…
