High levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide intensify climate change, but high carbon dioxide levels can also stimulate plant ...

Current climate models overstate the rate of nitrogen fixation, a natural process that helps remove atmospheric carbon ...

A new study led by the Wuhan Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (WBG, CAS) has identified a unique trait in ...

The enzyme rubisco is found in all plants and other photosynthesizing organisms. It plays a key role in fixing carbon from the air and has helped shape life on Earth. Now researchers at UC Davis, UC ...

Schemata for obtaining photoautotrophic and chemoautotrophic taxonomic annotations from the metagenomic analyses (a), and method overview including the labeling chambers made of plexiglass and ...

The grasses that grow in tropical savannas evolved some 8 million years ago, in the presence of fire, long before humans emerged on the planet. Fire continues to play a key evolutionary role in this ...

To study the temporal and spatial dynamics of carbon fixation by Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens) in subtropical China, carbon fixation of leaves within the canopy of P. pubescens was measured ...

New research from Washington University in St. Louis explains the cellular processes that allow a sun-loving microbe to "eat" electricity—transferring electrons to fix carbon dioxide to fuel its ...
