carbon storage

Forests around world being changed from carbon sinks into carbon sources, making it harder to slow global heating

'Integrated' plans that capture carbon and restore biodiversity while also supporting the livelihoods of local communities are not only less harmful, says Dr. Trisha Gopalakrishna — they're also more likely to succeed.

Oysters stabilize shorelines, trap carbon-rich sediment, and help marshes grow.

Towering underwater kelp forests are often likened to trees, but seaweed carbon sequestration is far more complex than in soil-bound ecosystems.

A group of leaders in the agriculture and food industries is launching a national alliance to work toward achieving net zero in Canada's agri-food sector by 2050.

Turf wars between the microbes dictate how much carbon salt marshes store and how much methane they pump into the air.

The rolling prairie lands of northeastern Wyoming have been a paradise of lush, knee−deep grass for sheep, cattle and pronghorn antelope this summer.

The federal government has expanded a program to include the agricultural sector in coming up with solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

British Columbia's valuable carbon sink is gone. Its forests are hemorrhaging CO2. And the wood harvested from the province is now adding fuel to our climate crisis.

Investment in carbon capture technology will hinder Canada’s transition away from fossil fuels and exacerbate the effects of climate change, says a new letter co-signed by hundreds of organizations.

Industry is excited about the budget's carbon-capture investments. But the technology is still expensive, and projects have not performed to expectations. Environmentalists worry it will lock us in to fossil fuels. Will Trudeau's wager pay off?
