Synergies between conventional soil organic carbon, farm productivity, soil sequestration and soil carbon market risk in Australia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The investment risk of sequestering carbon as soil organic carbon (SOC) is low when compared to the susceptibility of forestry sequestration projects to disease, bushfires and droughts over a 100-year investment timeframe.

Drought Stress Mediated Changes in Food Crops: Mechanisms and Remediation Strategies

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This work presents a multi‐scale framework for flavonoid‐mediated drought tolerance in staple food crops, integrating ROS redox regulation, antioxidant defense, rhizosphere microbial interactions, and sustainable agronomic practices. This interdisciplinary model provides core insights to develop climate‐resilient cropping systems and enhance global ...

Quantification of black carbon in urban soils [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Black carbon (BC), which comprises partially combusted organic material such as char and soot, is a hazardous pollutant and contributor to global warming, but is also highly stable, and once deposited in soil contributes to long-term stocks of ...

Biochar-mediated degradation of p-nitrophenol as influenced by species of Fe(III)

open access: yesBiochar
The presence of Fe(III) or oxygen can affect the biochar-mediated degradation of pollutants. However, the effects of changes in the form and species of Fe(III) on the degradation of pollutants have not been systematically investigated.

Optimized Land–Water Management Expands Afforestation Potential Under Land and Human Water‐Use Constraints

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Human water demand constrains China's feasible afforestation potential more strongly than is commonly recognized, and future climate change further intensifies this limitation. Integrating land‐use optimization with water‐saving measures substantially expands feasible afforestation area and associated carbon sinks, revealing a practical pathway to ...

Soil pH Amelioration Synergizes Carbon Accrual with Yield Gains Under Organic Substitution

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Soil pH shifts towards neutrality in both acidic and alkaline soils under organic substitution. A global synthesis links pH amelioration to soil organic carbon accrual through enhanced microbial biomass after accounting for added organic carbon and its interaction with pH. This pH amelioration‐shared soil organic carbon accrual accounts for 5.1–8.6% of

Biochar application enhances ant (Formica japonica) ecological functions as indicated by their social behaviors

open access: yesBiochar
Soil fauna activity is crucial for soil ecosystem functioning and health, but soil remediation techniques, such as biochar application, are seldom examined for their influence on soil fauna activity.
