Microbes are by far the most important factor in determining how much carbon is stored in the soil, according to a new study with implications for mitigating climate change and improving soil health for agriculture and food production.

Underestimated Heat Storage
There are many effects of climate change. Perhaps the most broadly known is global warming, which is caused by heat building up in various parts of the Earth system, such as the atmosphere, the ocean, the cryosphere and the land.
Saving Moths May Be Just as Important as Saving the Bees
Night-time pollinators such as moths may visit just as many plants as bees, and should also be the focus of conservation and protection efforts, a new study from the University of Sheffield suggests.
Forest Protection Successfully Leads to Reduced Emissions at Global Scale
New study confirms protected forests preserve equivalent to one year of global fossil fuel emissions through avoided emissions.
Little-Known Microbes Could Help Predict Climate Tipping Points
Rising temperatures could push ocean plankton and other single-celled creatures toward a carbon tipping point that fuels more warming.
