There is growing interest in the scientific community and private sector in biological approaches to marine carbon dioxide removal—strategies designed to enhance the ocean's natural ability to absorb ...

As deep-sea waters warm, scientists expected trouble for the microbes that help keep ocean chemistry in balance. Instead, researchers found that Nitrosopumilus maritimus can adapt to warmer, ...

Scientists exploring ways to use the ocean as a carbon sink are running into a problem that could limit the technology’s long-term effectiveness: the nutrients that marine life needs to pull carbon ...

Benthic foraminifera are unicellular eukaryotes that inhabit marine sediments and play a pivotal role in nutrient cycling. Their remarkable physiological capabilities enable them to thrive in diverse ...

Irvine, Calif., Feb. 4, 2025 — Computer models reveal how human-driven climate change will dramatically overhaul critical nutrient cycles in the ocean. In the Proceedings of the National Academy of ...

Many farming systems still depend on high levels of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides to maintain yields. This dependence can create trade-offs: nutrient ...

Scientists have discovered the availability of carbon in Greenland's waters is shifting poleward and appearing earlier than in previous decades. This finding will enhance understanding of carbon ...

Soil erosion is widely known for degrading land and reducing agricultural productivity. But new research shows it may also ...
