A new study finds reductions in greenhouse gases are insufficient to substantially slow warming, and the authors argue that to continue the benefits of reduced emissions, policymakers will need to adopt green economic recovery strategies.

Bacteria that take in inorganic carbon could have applications in sustainable biofuels.

Carbon dioxide and temperature need to increase in a constant ratio for plants to keep up with climate change.

The concentration of the greenhouse gas is now one-and-a-half times what it was before the Industrial Revolution, the World Meteorological Association says.

Plants use two different strategies to photosynthesize underwater.

Insulating tundra soil with snow increased the abundance of microbial species involved in carbon dioxide and methane release.

Microbiologists identify diatoms, algae, and cyanobacteria species from samples above a mountaintop in France.

A higher species richness could boost plant communities’ ability to mitigate climate change, a study suggests.

Researchers predict that activity around the digital currency could single-handedly push warming above 2 °C within 30 years, but other experts say the conclusion is flawed.

With samples taken from the crust of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, researchers have discovered where some of the oceans’ dissolved organic carbon winds up.

A study of 686 fish and invertebrates predicts that some animals will have to shift more than 1,000 kilometers to stay within tolerable temperatures.

Researchers exposed a coral reef to carbonated water to study the effects of ocean acidification.

Dryland biomes are covered in at least 40 percent more forest than previously estimated.

Stone throwers hit the car Sharon Gray was riding in while visiting the country for a meeting.

High carbon dioxide levels can irreversibly rev up a cyanobacterium’s ability to fix nitrogen over the long term, a study finds.

A round-up of recent discoveries in behavior research

Researchers are using snowdrifts to artificially warm Arctic tundra during winter and finding that more carbon is released from the soil than plants can soak up from the atmosphere.

Researchers in the Amazon are measuring how much carbon dioxide fertilizes the rainforest.

Breeding plants that can convert more carbon dioxide to food could help feed a growing population.
