Stem and soil nitrous oxide fluxes from rainforest and cacao agroforest on highly weathered soils in the Congo Basin [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2020 Although tree stems act as conduits for greenhouse gases (GHGs) produced in the soil, the magnitudes of tree contributions to total (soil + stem) nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from tropical rainforests on heavily weathered soils remain ...

Herbicide weed control increases nutrient leaching compared to mechanical weeding in a large-scale oil palm plantation [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2020 Nutrient leaching in intensively managed oil palm plantations can diminish soil fertility and water quality. There is a need to reduce this environmental footprint without sacrificing yield.

Soil Carbon Stock and Potential Carbon Storage in the Mangrove Forests of Guangdong
Redai dili, 2023 Mangroves occur in coastal intertidal zones and play an important role in terrestrial and marine carbon cycles. Accurate estimations of mangrove carbon stocks and sequestration potential can help quantify the contribution of mangroves to addressing ...

Impacts of monoculture cropland to alley cropping agroforestry conversion on soil N2O emissions
GCB Bioenergy, 2023 Monoculture croplands are a major source of global anthropogenic emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to ozone depletion. Agroforestry has the potential to reduce N2O emissions.

Soil trace gas fluxes along orthogonal precipitation and soil fertility gradients in tropical lowland forests of Panama [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2017 Tropical lowland forest soils are significant sources and sinks of trace gases. In order to model soil trace gas flux for future climate scenarios, it is necessary to be able to predict changes in soil trace gas fluxes along natural gradients of soil ...

Conversion of tropical forests to smallholder rubber and oil palm plantations impacts nutrient leaching losses and nutrient retention efficiency in highly weathered soils [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2018 Conversion of forest to rubber and oil palm plantations is widespread in Sumatra, Indonesia, and it is largely unknown how such land-use conversion affects nutrient leaching losses. Our study aimed to quantify nutrient leaching and nutrient retention
