This study decouples the roles of aromatic cluster size and oxygen functional groups (OFGs) in biomass-derived carbon cathodes for electrochemical dehalogenation. While increasing pyrolysis temperature grows clusters and enhances performanc…

Nele Petersen, Adam Slabon

This paper explores the potential of using carbon dioxide as a sustainable oxidant via photocatalysis, a fundamental study contributing to carbon capture and utilization (CCU). It highlights a novel direction for decarbonization technologie…

This study evaluates the impact of 15 years of organic fertilizer application on soil carbon storage and native organic matter stability in tropical grasslands using isotopic tracers. Organic fertilizer-derived carbon accumulates mainly as …

Willem Goedkoop, Sven Adler, Jens Fölster +1

This study combines satellite and field data to show that climate warming increased carbon sequestration by tundra vegetation in northern Scandinavia, but downstream lakes experienced declining organic carbon and increasing inorganic carbon…

Yujie Liang, Yabin Jiang

This study develops porous graphitic carbon nitride with engineered carbon vacancies, significantly enhancing visible-light photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. The structural defects promote charge separation and surface reactions, offering …

Yuanning Liang

Using China's policy-driven solar expansion as a case, this paper argues that climate policy appraisal should incorporate biodiversity impacts. It emphasizes the need to integrate ecological effects into policy evaluation beyond carbon redu…

This study assessed surface concentrations of particulate organic carbon (POC) and phytoplankton carbon (C phy) in the northern South China Sea using regionally tuned satellite remote sensing. Match-up comparisons showed uncertainties of ±2…

Maxwell Locke, Adrian Unc

This review argues that deep soil organic carbon (dSOC) must be understood through its unique inputs, transport pathways, and stabilization mechanisms, distinct from surface SOC. dSOC persistence is controlled by interacting hydrological, g…
