UNL researchers are linking cattle genetics and rumen microbes to find ways to cut methane losses and boost feed efficiency ...

Soils do more than store carbon from plant residues. Beneath our feet, vast communities of microbes quietly pull carbon dioxide from the air and convert it into organic matter, helping regulate ...

The latest study finds that emissions of the potent greenhouse gas might be higher than previously estimated. Warming in the Arctic is intensifying methane emissions, contributing to a vicious ...

Carbon dioxide is the gas we most associate with global warming, but methane gas also plays an important role. For reasons that are not well understood, methane gas stopped increasing in the ...

Soil microbes remove carbon from the atmosphere and store it underground, revealing an overlooked pathway for storage in agricultural soils.

Scientists have discovered living microbes producing methane in the fractured rocks deep inside Sweden's Siljan impact crater, offering insights into Earth's earliest life and the search for life ...

WASHINGTON, Jan 6 (Reuters) - Bacteria ate nearly all the potentially climate-warming methane that spewed from BP's broken wellhead in the Gulf of Mexico last year, scientists reported on Thursday.

Microbes that consume methane could be used to help slow global warming. Researchers have identified many methane-eating bacteria, known as methanotrophs, but in nature these organisms tend to take in ...
