Agroforestry and enhanced rock weathering: A dual strategy for sustainable cacao

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Cacao production is both economically vital and environmentally intensive, presenting a major sustainability challenge as a crop largely cultivated by smallholder farmers in climate‐vulnerable regions. This review synthesises evidence that integrating agroforestry with enhanced rock weathering (EW) may significantly reduce emissions from cacao ...

Spatiotemporal distribution and potential functions of N2O-reducing bacteria in the waters of the Pearl River Estuary

BMC Microbiology
Background The reduction of N2O to N2, catalyzed by two kinds of N2O-reducing bacteria, is the only known biological pathway of N2O sink. However, the distribution and function of N2O-reducing bacteria in estuarine waters remains unknown.

N2O fluxes at the soil-atmosphere interface in various ecosystems and the global N2O budget [PDF]

The overall purpose of this research task is to study the effects of soil properties and ecosystem variables on N2O exchanges at the soil-atmosphere interface, and to assess their effects on the globle N2O budget.

Nitrous oxide emissions from irrigated cotton soils of northern Australia [PDF]

, 2010
An automated gas sampling methodology has been used to estimate nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from heavy black clay soil in northern Australia where split applications of urea were applied to furrow irrigated cotton. Nitrous oxide emissions from the beds

Emissions of N2O from fertilized and grazed grassland on organic soil in relation to groundwater level [PDF]

Intensively managed grasslands on organic soils are a major source of nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) therefore has set the default emission factor at 8 kg N–N2O ha-1 year-1 for cultivation and ...

Implementing potential climate‐smart practices through diverse partnerships

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate change is one of the greatest threats to society, negatively impacting agriculture and crop yields. Globally, agriculture is also one of the largest greenhouse gas (GHG) emitting sectors. Climate‐smart practices that are developed through diverse partnerships with scientists and practitioners are needed to decrease GHG emissions. We implemented

Weeds in a changing climate: Competitors or service plants?

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Reducing herbicide use and preparing agroecosystems for climate change are two top priorities on the global policy agenda. Here, we explore whether these two challenges can be tackled simultaneously. While weeds are generally considered a threat to crop production, we show that weeds can help overcome climate change challenges in agroecosystems ...

A quasi-Lagrangian coordinate system based on high resolution tracer observations: implementation for the Antarctic polar vortex [PDF]

, 2008
In order to quantitatively analyse the chemical and dynamical evolution of the polar vortex it has proven extremely useful to work with coordinate systems that follow the vortex flow.

Persistence and potential of soil organic carbon in nature‐based climate solutions: A review of managed disturbances

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Implementing nature‐based climate solutions is important for mitigating climate change, which is a global issue, but requires local adjustments in management practices. Using the association between soil carbon and minerals as a proxy for carbon persistence, we evaluated the effect of different management regimes on soil carbon sequestration and loss ...

Geological regulation of nitrous oxide emission risks in rivers globally

Communications Earth & Environment
Fertilizer application has been recognized as the major driver of nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions in rivers. However, the intrinsic risk of N2O emissions in responding to nitrogen discharge (i.e., ratios between N2O emissions and dissolved inorganic ...
