Climate change has disrupted that cycle’s delicate balance, upsetting how water circulates between the ground, oceans and atmosphere. The events of 2023 show how significant these disruptions ...

The study also finds that the time it takes for water to flow through plants (referred to as transit or turnover time) and return to the atmosphere is among the fastest in the global water cycle ...

Humanity has thrown the global water cycle off balance “for the first time in human history,” fueling a growing water disaster that will wreak havoc on economies, food production and lives ...

Every 1 degree Celsius increases moisture in the atmosphere, which powers up the hydrological cycle—not to mention making hurricanes, typhoons, and other tropical storms more frequent.

Vicious cycle. The study differentiated between "blue water", found in rivers and lakes, and "green water", which is contained in soils and plant life and released into the atmosphere via ...

Sorption-based atmospheric water harvesting (SAWH) employs sorbents to extract water from the air, presenting a low-energy, ...

The vast majority of atmospheric oxygen (O2) is derived from photosynthesis. Plants and other photosynthetic organisms use CO2, water, and light energy to produce glucose and O2.

In the Martian atmosphere, water molecules are broken down into their constituent atoms by ultraviolet energy streaming in from the sun. While most of the heavy oxygen atoms remain in the planet ...
