Soil carbon fluxes and balances of crop rotations under long-term no-till
Carbon Balance and Management, 2020 Background A field study with the same crop rotations was conducted to test the hypothesis that the soil Carbon fluxes and balances could vary according to the crop species and also mitigate carbon dioxide (CO2) emission.

Implications of land use change on the national terrestrial carbon budget of Georgia
Carbon Balance and Management, 2010 Background Globally, the loss of forests now contributes almost 20% of carbon dioxide emissions to the atmosphere. There is an immediate need to reduce the current rates of forest loss, and the associated release of carbon dioxide, but for many areas of ...
