Nitrification amplifies the decreasing trends of atmospheric oxygen and implies a larger land carbon uptake [PDF]

, 2007
[1] Atmospheric O-2 trend measurements are used to partition global oceanic and land biotic carbon sinks on a multiannual basis. The underlying principle is that a terrestrial uptake or release of CO2 is accompanied by an opposite flux of O-2.

The global carbon sink potential of terrestrial vegetation can be increased substantially by optimal land management

Communications Earth & Environment, 2022
Excessive emissions of greenhouse gases — of which carbon dioxide is the most significant component, are regarded as the primary reason for increased concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide and global warming.

Post-drought decline of the Amazon carbon sink [PDF]

, 2018
Amazon forests have experienced frequent and severe droughts in the past two decades. However, little is known about the large-scale legacy of droughts on carbon stocks and dynamics of forests.

Forest restoration decouple soil C:N:P stoichiometry but has little effects on microbial biodiversity globally

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, 2023
Introduction Forest restoration is an effective way to promote ecosystem functions and mitigate climate change. However, how forest restoration affect soil C:N:P stoichiometry and microbial biodiversity, as well as their linkage across contrasting forest

Manila clam and Mediterranean mussel aquaculture is sustainable and a net carbon sink.

Science of the Total Environment, 2022
Aquaculture is a globally expanding industry that contributes to feeding an increasing global population. Shellfish cultivation is one of the largest sectors of aquaculture and one of the few food productions that have the potential capacity of acting as

Urbanization alters atmospheric dryness through land evapotranspiration

npj Climate and Atmospheric Science, 2023
‘Urban Dry (Wet) Islands’ (UDI/UWI) represents microclimate change that impacts ecosystems and human well-being. However, causes of the UDI (UWI) phenomena are not fully understood due to the lack of empirical data.

Erosion-induced CO2 flux of small watersheds [PDF]

, 2012
Soil erosion not only results in severe ecological damage, but also interferes with soil organic carbon formation and decomposition, influencing the global green-house effect. However, there is controversy as to whether a typical small watershed presumed

Process-oriented analysis of dominant sources of uncertainty in the land carbon sink

Nature Communications, 2022
The observed global net land carbon sink is captured by current land models. All models agree that atmospheric CO2 and nitrogen deposition driven gains in carbon stocks are partially offset by climate and land-use and land-cover change (LULCC) losses ...

Biological Carbon Sequestration and Carbon Trading Re-Visited [PDF]

, 2009
Biological activities that sequester carbon create CO2 offset credits that could obviate the need for reductions in fossil fuel use. Credits are earned by storing carbon in terrestrial ecosystems and wood products, although CO2 emissions are also ...
