Soil Carbon’s Fate as Climate Changes

October 5, 2011

Scientists don’t know what will happen to soil carbon in response to climate change. It could enter the atmosphere as CO2, a greenhouse gas, and further accelerate climate change. But how much — and when — remains a mystery.

Hurricanes, Forests and the Carbon Cycle

May 4, 2011

Source:  LBNL TABL Jeff Chambers of the Earth Sciences Division is leading an effort to develop computer models that show how the destruction of forest trees and ecosystems by hurricanes can be a source of carbon emissions with a significant adverse impact on the carbon cycle. Hurricane Katrina, for example, detroyed roughly 320 million trees,…

An Intimate Look at the Life of Soil Carbon

March 10, 2011

Peter Nico The amount of carbon residing in world soils at any moment is greater than all the carbon in the atmosphere and biosphere (living things) combined. In fact, among the fast cycling global carbon reservoirs, soil is exceeded in quantitative importance only by the oceans. The large amount of carbon in soils makes understanding…
