By Ruth Kamnitzer Microbes living in tree bark consume vast amounts of climate-related and toxic gases, according to new ...

Trees are known for absorbing CO2. But microbes in their bark also absorb other climate-active gases, methane, hydrogen, and ...

Metagenomic sequencing of tree bark microbiota indicated their ability to process some atmospheric gases, highlighting their ...

Many of the microbes living in bark can live off various gases. This is a process recently coined as “aerotrophy”, as in “air ...

The cause of global warming shows no sign of slowing down: Levels of the three most significant human-caused greenhouse gases – carbon dioxide (CO2), methane and nitrous oxide – continued their steady ...

The now-closed Fisk Generating Station in Chicago was once a triumph of engineering and considered one of the more efficient coal-fired plants in the country. Now, though, coal-fired plants like this ...

Australian researchers have discovered a hidden climate superpower of trees. Their bark harbors trillions of microbes that ...

Climate change is primarily caused by the accumulation of heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere. In the mid-1800s, physicist John Tyndall conducted experiments and found that some molecules present in ...

UPDATE: The headline to this article previously stated that 'gases we exhale contribute to 0.1% of the UK's greenhouse gas emissions'. In fact, the research estimated the proportion of the UK's ...

Humanity’s grand experiment in the atmosphere continues, and a new report documents just how far it’s gone. On Tuesday, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration released its annual index of ...

Greenhouse gases: When we talk about global warming or climate change, the term greenhouse gases comes up a lot. But what exactly are these gases, and why do they matter so much? In simple words, ...
