Researchers from the Institute of Applied Ecology (IAE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have uncovered how soil food webs promote the transformation and storage of photosynthetic carbon in ...

The ocean is losing its greenness, a new study has found: Global chlorophyll concentration, a proxy for phytoplankton biomass, declined over the past two decades, especially in coastal areas.

Sulfur caves are among the most extreme habitats on Earth. They are completely dark and filled with hydrogen sulfide gas, which is toxic to most life-forms. Inside, species’ survival depends on ...

Deep-Sea Mining Risks Disrupting the Marine Food Web, Study Warns Drilling for minerals deep in the ocean could have immense consequences for the tiny animals at the core of the vast marine food web — ...

Microbes near the surface of the Southern Ocean sustain the polar food chain — impacting the nutrient flow from the surface to the depths where other microbial communities thrive in the dark. National ...

Two weeks ago, Nvidia Corp. agreed to invest as much as $100 billion in OpenAI to help the leading AI startup fund a data-center buildout so massive it could power a major city. OpenAI in turn ...

New research shows that marine heat waves can reshape ocean food webs, which in turn can slow the transport of carbon to the deep sea and hamper the ocean's ability to buffer against climate change.

SEATTLE (AP) — For decades, scientists believed Prochlorococcus, the smallest and most abundant phytoplankton on Earth, would thrive in a warmer world. But new research suggests the microscopic ...
