Native Perennial Vegetation Buffer Strips Improve Structural Indicators of Riparian Protection in Mediterranean Agroecosystems

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Riparian zones in Mediterranean agroecosystems are highly vulnerable to degradation because cultivation often reaches stream edges and annual vegetation senesces during the late‐summer dry period, leaving soils exposed when the first erosive autumn rains occur.

An evaluation model for aboveground biomass based on hyperspectral data from field and TM8 in Khorchin grassland, China.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Biomass is an important indicator for monitoring vegetation degradation and productivity. This study tests the applicability of Hyperspectral Remote-Sensing in situ measurements for high-precision estimation aboveground biomass (AGB) on regional scales ...

Assessment of the Impact of Coastal Wetland Saltmarsh Vegetation Types on Aboveground Biomass Inversion

Remote Sensing
Coastal wetlands play an important carbon sequestration role in China’s “carbon peaking” and “carbon neutrality” goals. Monitoring aboveground biomass (AGB) is crucial for wetland management. Satellite remote sensing enables efficient retrieval of AGB. However, a variety of statistical models can be used for biomass inversion, depending on factors such

On the general relationship between plant height and aboveground biomass of vegetation stands in contrasted ecosystems

PLOS ONE, 2021
Ecological communities are unique assemblages of species that coexist in consequence of multi-causal processes that have proven hard to generalize. One possible exception are processes that control the biomass packing of vegetation stands; the amount of aboveground standing biomass expressed per unit volume.

Coupling of Physical Protection and Molecular Composition Drives Carbon Sequestration Divergence in Soils Planted With Different Tea Varieties

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tea plantations represent significant carbon (C) sinks in agricultural landscapes, yet how variety‐specific organic inputs are associated with the molecular composition and stability of soil organic carbon (SOC) within aggregate hierarchies remains unclear.

Aboveground tree carbon stocks of Lowland evergreen mixed vegetation at Gannoruwa

Proceedings of International Forestry and Environment Symposium, 2012
Conservation of global forests is being considered as one of the sustainable ways of mitigating global warming, because forests are widely perceived to act as major sinks for atmospheric carbon. Estimation of carbon stocks of tropical forests are important for management, planning and for REDD initiatives.Therefore, this study was initiated to estimate

Higher NO3−‐N Levels Under Mulberry (Morus alba L.) Planting Enhanced CAZyme Abundance, Increasing Soil Carbon Stability

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Afforestation is widely advocated for boosting carbon (C) sequestration. However, the stability of soil C pools in economically and culturally significant mulberry plantations remains poorly understood. The soil organic C (SOC) contents in different aggregates and the oxidizable OC fractions were measured.

The Impact of Plant Diversity on Carbon Storage Along the Gradient of Altitude in Alpine Grasslands of the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau

Grasses
Plant diversity plays an important role in shaping the carbon cycling of grassland ecosystems. However, differences in the diversity effect on aboveground and belowground carbon storage remains unclear at specific spatiotemporal scales.

Table_1_Correlations between forest soil quality and aboveground vegetation characteristics in Hunan Province, China.pdf

, 2022
As a key component of terrestrial ecosystems, soil interacts directly with aboveground vegetation. Evaluating soil quality is therefore of great significance to comprehensively explore the interaction mechanism of this association.

Seasonal Dynamics of Soil Multitrophic Biodiversity, Co‐Occurrence Network and Assembly Mechanisms Under Typical Vegetation Restoration Patterns in Karst Region

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Previous studies often overlooked the dynamic effects of karst vegetation restoration on soil multi‐trophic biodiversity and the underlying community‐assembly mechanisms. To fill this gap, we performed a seasonal comparative analysis of soil biodiversity, co‐occurrence network architecture, and assembly processes across three representative ...
