There is growing interest in the scientific community and private sector in biological approaches to marine carbon dioxide removal—strategies designed to enhance the ocean's natural ability to absorb ...

Scientists exploring ways to use the ocean as a carbon sink are running into a problem that could limit the technology’s long-term effectiveness: the nutrients that marine life needs to pull carbon ...

As deep-sea waters warm, scientists expected trouble for the microbes that help keep ocean chemistry in balance. Instead, researchers found that Nitrosopumilus maritimus can adapt to warmer, ...

Many farming systems still depend on high levels of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides to maintain yields. This dependence can create trade-offs: nutrient ...

Oxygen-starved ocean "dead zones," where fish and animals cannot survive, have been expanding in the open ocean and coastal waters for several decades as a result of human agricultural and industrial ...
