Researchers think that the carbon cycle turns over about 330 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide each year.

That will help those who seek to understand the carbon cycle and with it, the consequences of greenhouse-gas-induced climate change.
Researchers think that the carbon cycle adds up to the production of about 330 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide each year.

If China is putting in more than previously thought then some natural aspect of the carbon cycle must be taking out more.
Before his writings on the carbon cycle, Mr Bethe produced several papers that endeavoured to pull together the whole theory of nuclear physics.

Life in the sea, after all, supports the basic processes that we all take for granted: the water cycle, the oxygen cycle, the carbon cycle, and much more.

Oceans are considered to be one of the planet major players in the global carbon cycle, but the carbon uptake in the region where the eruption occurred has limited capacity.
We believe SOCAT will become an invaluable resource for anyone studying the ocean carbon cycle and its influence on global temperatures.
Although this may look paltry in comparison to the total carbon cycle, it is probably enough to upset such a finely tuned system.

In the natural carbon cycle, plants absorb CO2 as they grow.

First, their models tended to ignore the myriad amplifying carbon cycle feedbacks that we now know are kicking in (such as the defrosting tundra).
If that idea is confirmed, it will need to be incorporated into the computer models used to understand the Earth's carbon cycle and its effect on the climate.

The seats are staggered, so the passenger sits both beside and behind the driver the car is narrow, with the cycle-fendered wheels out on carbon fiber struts.
With the additional data that the satellites provide, researchers hope finally to shed light on the Earth's complicated carbon cycle.

With satellites providing data from thousands of additional locations, researchers hope finally to shed light on the Earth's complicated carbon cycle.

However, beyond the smokestack, looking at the full life-cycle accounting for carbon of various biomass feedstocks, other reports have found that the source of the feedstock matters.

Having looked closely at the evidence, I have concluded that what really reduces carbon emissions is making sure you walk or cycle to the shops.
The rising tree population could disrupt the natural processes that cycle snow and energy through the region and increase the amount of carbon it stores, according to the researchers.
The family then stopped using all carbon-producing transport, so they now walk or cycle.
According to a life-cycle analysis, the land-based crops all were found to sequester more carbon than that incurred in growing them, while the contrary was true for growing algae, meaning that replacing fossil fuels by algal fuels could cause an overall increase in carbon emissions.
FORBES: Report Says Algal Biofuels May Not Cut Carbon Emissions, But Read More Closely
According to scientists who conduct so-called "life cycle analysis" for solar, the transport of waste is not currently being factored into the carbon footprint score, which measures the amount of greenhouse gases produced when making a product.
Thus, the life-cycle analysis shows that for every mile driven, the average electric car indirectly emits about six ounces of carbon-dioxide.
