ERW boosts carbon storage in young broadleaf woodland by up to 27%, study finds
Enhanced rock weathering (ERW) increased aboveground carbon storage in young native broadleaf woodland plots by up to 27% over four years, while soil microbiome enrichment delivered a smaller and less consistent early growth boost, a major UK study has found.

Read MoreExperts draft global ocean carbon removals framework due in 2027
International marine science experts are drawing up a global framework to assess ocean-based climate interventions, such as marine carbon removal (mCDR), with the work due to be completed by mid-2027.
Read MoreSeaweed carbon removal faces major ocean trade-offs, study warns
Growing seaweed across vast areas of the ocean could help draw down more CO2, but the carbon removal gains would be limited compared with the amount of biomass produced and could come with major risks for marine ecosystems, a peer-reviewed study has found.
Read MoreNew method could strengthen biochar carbon stability checks, study finds
A microscopy-based method could help assess whether biochar material has been sufficiently carbonised for long-term storage, a new study has found.
