Using a quantitative model, a research team of biogeochemists has provided a new view on the relationship between the earliest accumulation of oxygen in the atmosphere, arguably the most important ...

Recent studies and warnings from NASA have sparked global concern about the long-term sustainability of Earth’s oxygen supply. The implications of a diminishing oxygen reserve are profound, ...

Rivers, lakes, and reservoirs have always been Earth's hidden lungs — breathing life through the oxygen they cycle. But over the last century, that breath has grown shallow. A new study led by ...

This study is led by Dr. Lei Ding and Prof. Jianping Huang (College of Atmospheric Sciences, Lanzhou University). They found future terrestrial ecosystem will produce more oxygen for atmosphere when ...

It’s nothing to lose sleep over—really, I promise—but Earth’s atmosphere is leaking oxygen. Atmospheric oxygen levels have dropped by 0.7 percent over the past 800,000 years, and while scientists aren ...

As an essential material for the survival and reproduction of almost all aerobic organisms, oxygen is closely related to the formation and development of complex organisms. A recent review provides a ...

Latest findings regarding nitric oxide have the potential to reshape fundamentally the way we think about the respiratory system -- and offer new avenues to save lives. Scientific dogma has the ...
