A common iron mineral hiding in soil turns out to be far better at trapping carbon than scientists realized. Its surface ...

Researchers tracked how plant matter moves through bacteria's metabolism. Microbes respire three times as much carbon dioxide (CO2) from non-sugar carbons from lignin compared to sugar from cellulose.

Researchers discovered that microbes respire three times as much CO2 from lignin carbons compared to cellulose carbons. When soil microbes eat plant matter, the digested food follows one of two ...

"The activated carbon market is growing rapidly due to its wide use in water purification, air filtration, and industrial processes. With different types like powdered, granular, and pelletized carbon ...
