Rainforests’ invisible carbon problem The rainforests in northeast Australia are some of the most protected in the world – they haven't been logged in nearly 40 years. But after decades of measuring these forests tree by tree, scientists ...

🌳 Deep inside TERN’s Robson Creek Supersite in Far North Queensland, a silent shift is underway. The forest looks alive, but the data tells another story. What happens when a #carbonsink becomes a #carbonsource?

A carbon sink absorbs more CO₂ than it releases. Forests are key carbon sinks, storing carbon in biomass and soils through photosynthesis. Strengthening these ecosystems helps mitigate climate change.

Ocean carbon storage boosted by alkalinity enhancement, finds open-water trial Pilot project in Gulf of Maine assessing ocean geoengineering approach, finds it boosts carbon dioxide uptake

"The ocean is the largest carbon sink on Earth, holding about 38,000GT of carbon."

Forests function as active carbon sinks. They capture CO₂ through photosynthesis and store carbon in biomass and soils. IPCC and FAO data confirm their critical role in climate mitigation.

China has planted so many trees around the Taklamakan Desert that it's turned this 'biological void' into a carbon sink

China's massive tree-planting efforts around the Taklamakan Desert have transformed this 'biological void' into a significant carbon sink! 🌱 A truly impressive feat for global carbon absorption. #ClimateAction #DesertGreening #CarbonSink

The rainforest the world forgot: the Congo basin is the second largest on Earth, so why is it being neglected? It is one of the world’s most vital carbon sinks, but this tropical rainforest is losing out when it comes to climate policy and funding

Between 2010 and 2017, African forests lost 106bn kg of biomass per year, equivalent to weight of about 106m cars. Worst affected were #tropicalrainforests in Congo, Madagascar and west Africa.

56 million years ago, the Earth suddenly heated up – and many plants stopped working properly | The-14 New research shows how rapid global warming 56 million years ago caused plants to fail, reducing carbon storage and prolonging Earth’s ancient heatwave.

Why does it matter to the wider world?

The Amazon remains a powerful #carbonsink. As of 2022, it was estimated to hold 71.5bn metric tonnes of carbon, above & below ground, according to the MAAP report released in 2024. That is equivalent to nearly 2 yrs of global CO2 emissions

Carpet Saves The Planet ... Wait, what?

Can the boring, everyday items in our lives help us help the planet?

And if that's possible, how do we do it?

It turns out the answer to that question might be right under our feet.

The Southern Ocean’s CO₂ absorption hasn’t declined as models predicted—thanks to fresher surface water trapping carbon-rich deep water. But this buffer may weaken soon.
