Maize grown for bioenergy on peat emits twice as much carbon as when grown on mineral soil

GCB Bioenergy
The area of land dedicated to growing maize for bioenergy in the United Kingdom is rapidly expanding. To understand how maize production influences soil carbon (C) dynamics, and whether this is influenced by soil type, we measured net ecosystem exchange (

Community carbon and water exchange responses to warming and precipitation enhancement in sandy grassland along a restoration gradient

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Temperature increasing and precipitation alteration are predicted to occur in arid and semiarid lands; however, the response mechanism of carbon and water exchange at community level is still unclear in semiarid sandy land.

Precipitation as driver of carbon fluxes in 11 African ecosystems [PDF]

, 2008
This study reports carbon and water fluxes between the land surface and atmosphere in eleven different ecosystems types in Sub-Saharan Africa, as measured using eddy covariance (EC) technology in the first two years of the CarboAfrica network operation ...

Changes in net ecosystem productivity and greenhouse gas exchange with fertilization of Douglas fir: Mathematical modeling in ecosys [PDF]

, 2010
: The application of nitrogen fertilizers to Douglas fir forests is known to raise net ecosystem productivity (NEP), but also N(2)O emissions, the CO(2) equivalent of which may offset gains in NEP when accounting for net greenhouse gas (GHG) exchange ...

Phosphorus limitation on CO2 fertilization effect in tropical forests informed by a coupled biogeochemical model

Forest Ecosystems
Tropical forests store more than half of the world's terrestrial carbon (C) pool and account for one-third of global net primary productivity (NPP). Many terrestrial biosphere models (TBMs) estimate increased productivity in tropical forests throughout ...
