In ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) forests of the western United States, prescribed fires are used to reduce fuel loads and restore historical fire regimes. The season in which prescribed burns are performed and the interval between burns can have complex consequences for the ecosystem, including soil carbon cycling through the...
Forests play a critical role sequestering atmospheric carbon dioxide, partially offsetting greenhouse gas emissions, and thereby mitigating climate change. Forest management, natural disturbances, and the fate of carbon in wood products strongly influence carbon sequestration and emissions in the forest sector. Government policies, carbon offset and trading programs, and sustainable...

Forest Carbon Calculators: A
Headwater streams comprise nearly 90% of the total length of perennial channels in global catchments. They mineralize organic carbon entering from terrestrial systems, evade terrestrial carbon dioxide (CO₂ ), and generate and remove carbon through in-stream primary production and respiration. Despite their importance, headwater streams are often neglected in global...

Because all life on Earth begins with plants capturing energy from the sun, the living things that you see around you are essentially sunlight. Sunlight energy helps transform carbon dioxide in the air into living plant tissues made of carbon materials such as sugars, starches, and fibers.
