Soil carbon sequestration is a recognized climate mitigation method, but it involves changes in the practices of more than 0.5 billion farms worldwide. Regionally customized carbon-farming programs are one way to tailor soil carbon storage to local conditions. We conducted farmer participatory research...
Organic carbon sequestration in soil is vital for fertility, water retention, climate change mitigation and sustainable agriculture, securing our future.
The C storage capacity of the stable pool can be enhanced by increasing the productivity of the forest and thereby increasing the C input to the soil. Minimizing the disturbances in the stand structure and soil reduces the risk of unintended C losses. The establishment of mixed species forests ...
This project will make a difference and find new solutions to climate change. While carbon sequestration is an active study field, researching interaction between soil bacteria and fungi is a novel approach. Understanding these mechanisms will allow formulations of strategy to reduce...
With the value of total carbon, we can calculate the value of CO2equivalent sequestered on a tree. CO2has one molecule of Carbon and two molecules of Oxygen. The atomic weight of Carbon is 12u, and the atomic weight of Oxygen is 16u. The weight of CO2in trees is determined by the ra...
Plants convert CO2 from the atmosphere into organic matter through photosynthesis, which eventually ends up in the ground as dead plant matter. Once absorbed, the CO2 enriched soil helps restore the soil’s natural qualities – enhancing crop production while reducing pollution. ...
What process removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere? How does soil carbon sequestration work? How does photosynthesis moderate global warming? How does a spectrophotometer work? Why was laser technology invented? What happens to CO2 in the Calvin cycle?
Agriculture is becoming a substantial contributor to carbon emissions in China, and the efficient reduction of agricultural carbon emissions (ACEs) has become a universal concern. Currently, the digital transformation of agriculture (DTA) provides a new
We used data from the French National Forest Inventory to calculate species dominant height in 1368 mixed stands. We then used previously developed models to estimate the expected dominant height in virtual monospecific stands with the same environmental conditions. We found that mixture had a ...
Because the commercial carbon trade is an emerging market, it's difficult to judge the quality of offset providers and projects. Trees don't always live a full life, sequestration projects (for the long-term containment of emissions) sometimes fail and offset companies occasionally deceive their ...
