In soil, microbes produce and consume methane. Using a technique called pool dilution, researchers can separate the rate of methane production and consumption from the net rate.

Soil is a massive reservoir of carbon, holding three times the amount of carbon than in the atmosphere. Soil is a massive reservoir of carbon, holding three times the amount of carbon than in the atmosphere.

A suite of experiments provide insight into how diopside reacts with carbon dioxide to form stable carbonate species.

Across the United States, organic carbon concentration imposes a primary control on river sediment respiration, with additional influences from organic matter chemistry.

Metabolomics analysis revealed differences in metabolome profiles for two distinct modes of fungal wood decay.

First-of-its-kind genomic catalog lends insight into previously unknown processes at the river’s edge.

A team from the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory published research, demonstrating that the soil microbes were directly involved in the stabilization of soil organic carbon and mineral weathering.

A review article examines a decade of work on the atom-scale process of turning carbon dioxide into stable minerals.

Providing a perspective on the importance of integrating experimental work with theory and simulations when designing new carbon capture solvents.

PNNL researchers have developed a new class of chemistry focused on carbon capture technology and made incremental strides in driving down costs.

Pacific Northwest marsh carbon stocks are twice the global average. Long-term sea-level rise impacts will likely decrease ecosystem carbon stocks.
