Scientists Say Nature Is Better at Carbon Farming
2013-08-11 17:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: Large forests planted with a single species of tough small trees could capture enough carbon from the atmosphere to slow climate change and green the world's deserts at the same time, researchers say. A group of German scientists says the tree Jatropha curcas is resistant to arid conditions and can thrive where food crops would not survive. Jatropha curcas could be the way to remove atmospheric carbon, the researchers say. Unlike other geo-engineering schemes, which are expensive and rely...

Northern forests rev up carbon cycle
2013-08-09 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature: Northern forests are not just surviving but thriving, despite concerns about droughts, wildfires and bark beetles surging as the world warms. Ecosystem productivity is rising at high latitudes, with a roughly 50% increase in the amount of carbon cycling through northern landscapes since the 1950s, according to an analysis of atmospheric carbon dioxide trends published today in Science1. Boreal forests in particular have shown marked increases in carbon uptake during summer. Something quite massive...

Carbon cycle gets more extreme as climate changes
2013-08-09 00:44:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LA Times: Forests in Earth's northern latitudes have been thickened by migrating plant species and younger growth, driving a stronger gyration in the amount of carbon that cycles between land and the atmosphere each year, a new study suggests. The net rise in seasonal exchange of carbon between land and air cannot be explained solely by increased burning of fossil fuels, more wildfire or changes in the way the ocean cycles carbon, according to the study published online Thursday in Science. Researchers...

National Grid hails North Sea carbon storage potential
2013-08-08 01:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BusinessGreen: The prospect of collecting emissions from an industrial hub and storing them deep below the North Sea has edged closer after initial test drilling off the Yorkshire coast was yesterday declared a success. National Grid said that its exploration project revealed an undersea site 65 kilometres (40 miles) offshore could hold around 200 million tonnes of CO2 - equivalent to taking 10 million cars off the roads for a decade. This type of storage site is common across Europe, potentially providing crucial...
