Climate change mitigation in forestry: Paying for carbon stock or for sequestration?

, 2022
Climate change requires mitigation actions, mainly preventive, by reducing greenhouse gas emissions; however, carbon sequestration is a complementary measure.

Ecological Variability and Carbon Stock Estimates of Mangrove Ecosystems in Northwestern Madagascar [PDF]

Forests, 2014
Mangroves are found throughout the tropics, providing critical ecosystem goods and services to coastal communities and supporting rich biodiversity. Despite their value, world-wide, mangroves are being rapidly degraded and deforested. Madagascar contains approximately 2% of the world’s mangroves, >20% of which has been deforested since 1990 from ...

Modeling soil bulk density at the landscape scale and its contributions to C stock uncertainty [PDF]

, 2012
Soil bulk density (Db) is a major contributor to uncertainties in landscape-scale carbon and nutrient stock estimation. However, it is time consuming to measure and is, therefore, frequently predicted using surrogate variables, such as soil texture ...

The distribution and amount of carbon in the largest peatland complex in Amazonia [PDF]

, 2014
This work was funded by NERC grants NE/I021217/1 and NE/J50001X/1.Peatlands in Amazonian Peru are known to store large quantities of carbon, but there is high uncertainty in the spatial extent and total carbon stocks of these ecosystems.

Increased but not pristine soil organic carbon stocks in restored ecosystems [PDF]

Nature Communications
Ecosystem restoration can contribute to climate change mitigation, as recovering ecosystems sequester atmospheric CO2 in biomass and soils. It is, however, unclear how much soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks recover across different restored ecosystems.

Preservation and recovery of mangrove ecosystem carbon stocks in abandoned shrimp ponds [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2019
AbstractMangrove forests capture and store exceptionally large amounts of carbon and are increasingly recognised as an important ecosystem for carbon sequestration. Yet land-use change in the tropics threatens this ecosystem and its critical ‘blue carbon’ (carbon stored in marine and coastal habitats) stores.

Comparison of soil organic carbon stock change with eddy covariance carbon balance at an ICOS crop ecosystem site reveals unexplained carbon losses

, 2023
International audienceAccording to the latest estimates, soils globally store 1500 to 2400 Gt of carbon (C) at a depth of 1 m in the form of organic matter. Almost the same amount of inorganic C is estimated to be stored at a depth of 2 m.

Assessment and simulation of ecosystem carbon storage in rapidly urbanizing areas based on land use cover: a case study of the southern Jiangsu urban agglomeration, China

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Since China’s reform and opening-up period, the southern Jiangsu urban agglomeration has been one of the fastest urbanizing regions in the country. This rapid urbanization has led to dramatic changes in land use cover that have been the primary drivers ...
