Microbial activity and hard red spring wheat growth improvement following biostimulant application

Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment, 2023
Reclamation of oil and gas disturbed soils is challenging due to diminished function (i.e., soil physical, chemical, and biological properties) from the loss of soil organic carbon (SOC) and potential mixing of topsoil and subsoil. Biostimulants are agro‐

Extra Climate Benefits From Afforestation Due to Reduced Forest Fragmentation in China

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Afforestation in China reduced forest fragmentation in 2015, transforming 51.8 M ha of edge forests into interior forests. This enhanced carbon sequestration (1.4±0.2 Pg CO2e, a cooling biogeochemical effect), while reduced albedo (−0.9 Pg CO2e, a warming biophysical effect) partially offset the gain, yielding a net extra climate benefit of ...
