Decreased photosynthesis could also hamper efforts to fight climate change. As plants photosynthesize, they draw carbon dioxide from the air into their tissues and store it in the form of sugars.

In 2023, the concentration of CO2 increased by 2.8ppm — the fourth largest within a year since modern measurements started in the 1950s. Other two greenhouse gases, too, touched record highs in 2023.

IIM Shillong’s North East Centre for Community Impact and Engagement (NE-CCIE), along with its Nurturing Minds student association, played a pivotal role in the NERIE-NCERT festival, equipping young ...

Researchers from Michigan State University are exploring its unique carbon concentration mechanism, a discovery that could revolutionize our understanding of photosynthesis. This algae ...

From chewing gum to teabags, microplastics have already been discovered in a range of everyday items. These tiny pieces of plastic measure less than five millimeters long and are not biodegradable ...

Plants need water to make their own food. This is called photosynthesis. It happens in plant leaves. Plants also need carbon dioxide from air and sunlight to make their food. Slide 1 of 3 ...

Note the different scales used for the concentration of each gas. Global emissions from fossil fuel use increased by 1.1 ±1.1% in 2023 from 2022, reaching 36.8 ±2 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide ...

Analyze monthly-averaged or daily sea ice extent and concentration via interactive maps. Plot monthly ice extent anomalies, map sea ice concentration anomalies, and more. Use a map-based interface to ...
