Re: The Amazon and global warming

Essay,

I do not agree that soil microbes have much to do with the composition of our atmosphere. The green plants that live by photosynthesis are what removes CO2 from the air - the rest of the life forms on our planet do the very opposite. And, as I have posted above, 97.2% of the plant life that scrubs the CO2 lives in the oceans. Desertification, intense farming, etc. all are unpleasant, but there just aren't enough land plants to affect CO2 levels much.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.
