Exact excerpt

Their experimental data showed that adsorption could explain what ... Mojave sensors had recorded: carbon dioxide latched into cooling soil. By repeating the process across temperatures spanning a desert night and afternoon, she found that the soils took up more carbon dioxide as they cooled and released it as they warmed, confirming that the nighttime uptake is driven by adsorption, not biology.
