Where would carbon-based life be without carbon? There are 118 known chemical elements, but carbon is the fourth most ...

Autotrophs participate in the carbon cycle by fixing carbon dioxide to produce the biomass that all other organisms use for life. Four autotrophic carbon-fixation pathways were already known and ...

The carbon cycle is the biogeochemical cycle focused on carbon and how it is sequestered in and moves between different reservoirs in the Earth system. Natural gradients across surface ocean ...

Carbon, a building block of life, is constantly moving through different environmental compartments such as biota, the atmosphere, the ocean, soil and sediment, as part of what is called ‘the global ...

Understanding how key players such as whales, plankton, seagrasses and other forms of sea life interact sheds light on Earth’s carbon cycle. Carbon, a chemical element, is found in all organic ...

Sustainable consumption and production, the circular economy and carbon accounting … these topics are increasingly on the agenda for decision-makers. They all utilise a life cycle perspective to ...

We call this a ‘life cycle’ because it happens over and over ... They soak up sunlight and carbon dioxide from the air. This produces food for the plant. We call this ‘Photosynthesis’.

2. Development of an integrated and comprehensive carbon-life-cycle framework (LCCO2/LCA/LCCD) which integrates carbon efficiency measurements with other metrics - particularly financials.
