Environmental advantages of binary mixtures of Trifolium incarnatum and Lolium multiflorum over individual pure stands

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2013
To investigate the environmental advantages of using grass-clover binary mixtures over pure stands as winter cover crops, a serial of five field experiments (each designed as randomized complete blocks with four replicates) was carried out in eastern ...

Soil organic carbon characteristics affected by peanut shell biochar in saline-sodic paddy field

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2022
Biochar exhibits a profound impact on soil organic carbon (SOC) turnover and dynamics, but the underlying mechanism under field conditions is still unclear.

Recent Carbon Storage and Burial Exceed Historic Rates in the San Juan Bay Estuary Peri-Urban Mangrove Forests (Puerto Rico, United States)

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2021
Mangroves sequester significant quantities of organic carbon (C) because of high rates of burial in the soil and storage in biomass. We estimated mangrove forest C storage and accumulation rates in aboveground and belowground components among five sites ...

Strategies for enhancing long-term carbon sequestration in mixed-species, naturally regenerated Northern temperate forests

Carbon Management, 2020
We compared long-term C sequestration in the pools of aboveground portions of live trees, dead wood, and harvested wood products among highly contrasting forest management scenarios on a rotation (30-100 years) and 100-year basis.

Total carbon accumulation in a tropical forest landscape [PDF]

Carbon Balance and Management, 2012
Regrowing tropical forests worldwide sequester important amounts of carbon and restore part of the C emissions emitted by deforestation. However, there are large uncertainties concerning the rates of carbon accumulation after the abandonment of agricultural and pasture land.

PALEOECOLOGICAL CONDITIONS AND CARBON ACCUMULATION IN GENESIS OF INUNDATED MIRE OF MID-RUSSIAN UPLAND

Siberian Journal of Life Sciences and Agriculture, 2022
The aim is to study of influence of the ecological conditions on the carbon accumulation at the different stages of genesis of the inundated mire. Materials and methods. The macrofossil analysis and the degree of peat decomposition were studied by the

Assessing the short rotation woody biomass production on marginal post-mining areas

Journal of Forest Science, 2011
The Lusatian lignite-mining district (Eastern Germany) is characterized by a high share of marginal post-mining areas. At these sites, crop yield is generally low, and hence, conventional land use systems often fail in terms of reliable and efficient ...

Predicting Carbon Accumulation in Temperate Forests of Ontario, Canada Using a LiDAR-Initialized Growth-and-Yield Model

Remote Sensing, 2020
Climate warming has led to an urgent need for improved estimates of carbon accumulation in uneven-aged, mixed temperate forests, where high uncertainty remains.

Recent peat and carbon accumulation on changing permafrost landforms along the Mackenzie River valley, Northwest Territories, Canada

Environmental Research Letters, 2023
Northwestern Canada is currently warming nearly four times faster than the global average, driving accelerated permafrost thaw and changes to ecosystem vegetation, hydrology and landscape structure across the landscape.
