But we’ve found that in ecosystems including temperate forests, savannahs and grasslands, fire can stabilize or even increase soil carbon,” said Dr. But the researchers say that fires can also cause other transformations within soils that can offset these immediate carbon losses, and may stabilize ecosystem carbon. It creates charcoal, which is very resistant to […]
Atmospheric carbon dioxide is one of the new technologies that scientists hope will play an important role in tackling the climate crisis. “CCS will be a key tool in our battle to avert climate change. Chris Ballentine from Oxford University, lead a team of international collaborators to investigate the behavior of CO2 within a CO2-EOR […]
A Rice University study calculates how strains and stresses affect both “perfect” nanotubes and those assembled into fibers and found that while fibers under cyclic loads can fail over time, the tubes themselves may remain perfect. They hope to give researchers and industry a way to predict how long nanotube fibers or other assemblies can be expected to last under given conditions. “The time-dependence of […]
