Phytoplankton Carbon Stock

2014
Phytoplankton, the free-floating tiny microscopic floral particles, demonstrate a wide range of shapes and vary over several orders of magnitude in size, from submicron species such as the picoplanktonic prochlorophytes to diatoms measuring more than 1 mm in diameter. In mixed-pieces samples, high numbers of extremely small-sized species might actually

Soil Carbon Stocks and Fluxes

2014
The aim of this chapter was to quantify the soil organic carbon (SOC) stock in the top 30 cm of mineral soil for the whole Italian territory, according to the different land use types of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) cropland category (arable land, agroforestry, vineyards, olive groves, orchards and rice fields), as a basis for ...

Soil carbon stocks in Sarawak, Malaysia

Science of The Total Environment, 2013
The relationship between greenhouse gas emission and climate change has led to research to identify and manage the natural sources and sinks of the gases. CO2, CH4, and N2O have an anthropic source and of these CO2 is the least effective in trapping long wave radiation.

Carbon stocks in Scottish peatlands

Soil Use and Management, 2009
Abstract Various estimates have suggested that the peatlands of Scotland are a significant deposit of fixed carbon. However, these have been based upon rather imprecise estimates of peat depth. Using previously unused archived data, we have mapped peat depth across the country and then used these values to obtain an improved value of ...

Permafrost and Wetland Carbon Stocks

Science, 2010
In their Report “Global convergence in the temperature sensitivity of respiration at ecosystem level” (13 August, p. [838][1]), M. D. Mahecha et al. have done a fine study to tease apart the distinction between intrinsic and apparent temperature sensitivities ([ 1 ][2]).

Carbon Stock and Carbon Cycle of Wetland Ecosystem

2014
Wetland ecosystem is an essential ecosystem in the world. Its organic carbon stock and carbon cycle are important basis of global carbon cycle researches and also major contents of global climate change researches. Researches have shown that wetland protection and restoration can promote carbon accumulation and reduce emission of greenhouse gases. This

Carbon stocks in Tasmanian soils

Soil Research, 2012
Soil carbon (C) stocks were calculated for Tasmanian soil orders to 0.3 and 1.0 m depth from existing datasets. Tasmanian soils have C stocks of 49–117 Mg C/ha in the upper 0.3 m, with Ferrosols having the largest soil C stocks. Mean soil C stocks in agricultural soils were significantly lower under intensive cropping than under irrigated pasture.

Taking stock of forest carbon

Nature Climate Change, 2011
http://www.nature.com/nclimate ; Forests take up and store large quantities of carbon. An analysis of inventory data from across the globe suggests that temperate and boreal forests accounted for the majority of the terrestrial carbon sink over the past two decades.

Increased topsoil carbon stock across China's forests

Global Change Biology, 2014
AbstractBiomass carbon accumulation in forest ecosystems is a widespread phenomenon at both regional and global scales. However, as coupled carbon–climate models predicted, a positive feedback could be triggered if accelerated soil carbon decomposition offsets enhanced vegetation growth under a warming climate.

Predators help protect carbon stocks in blue carbon ecosystems

Nature Climate Change, 2015
Predators continue to be harvested unsustainably throughout most of the Earth's ecosystems. Recent research demonstrates that the functional loss of predators could have far-reaching consequences on carbon cycling and, by implication, our ability to ameliorate climate change impacts.
