A clear definition of carbon (C) sequestration in soils is necessary to accurately quantify the role of soil in climate change mitigation. Don et al. (2023) proposed defining carbon sequestration as “[the] Process of t...

Abstract Agricultural soils serve as an important frontier in the global efforts to sequester carbon (C), providing scalable opportunities to address climate change through improved land management. However, the C seques...

Sustainable soil management is indispensable for achieving the UN Sustainable Development goals and soil carbon sequestration for climate change mitigation has gained importance in recent years, yet there are few example...

Abstract Sinking macroalgal biomass carbon to the deep seafloor has been proposed as a means of removing atmospheric carbon dioxide, but the persistence of this carbon and its ecological impacts remain poorly constrained...

Understanding how common soil constituents regulate iron oxide transformation is essential for predicting the stability of co-occurring Pb and As under dynamic conditions. Here, a decoupling and comparative strategy was ...

ABSTRACT Adopting conservationist soil use and management practices, such as the no-tillage system and cover crops associated with organic agriculture, can improve the quality of fragile soils. This study aimed to evalua...

The Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, often referred to as the “Third Pole” and the “Asian Water Tower”, plays a pivotal role in global climate regulation due to its exceptional carbon sequestration capacity. Recent evide...

IntroductionMaize is a global commodity crop cultivated under monocropping systems and diverse environmental conditions. While different genotypes exist with various abilities to store carbon into tissues and into the so...

Microorganisms are important regulators of soil organic carbon (SOC) accumulation and stabilization, which is modulated by soil minerals, especially iron (Fe) oxides. Here, we analyzed soils from different forest types (...

Climate change is undermining the effectiveness of static reserve systems by shifting species distributions and increasing the opportunity costs of conservation, particularly for land and water under more frequent temper...

Abstract The large‐scale implementation of geological carbon sequestration has raised concerns about potential fault activation and induced seismicity, which could compromise storage integrity and pose seismic risks. W...

ARTICLE HIGLIGHTS - First carbon mapping of Palsabangon watershed using InVEST model - Combines remote sensing and field data across four key vegetation types - Reveals mangroves store highest carbon per hectare among la...

Agricultural landscapes in the tribal regions of Central India are dominated by smallholder, low-input, and highly diversified farming systems integrating crops, trees, and livestock. However, despite increasing promotio...

In recent decades, escalating climate change, continuous population growth, rapid urbanization, and extensive agricultural development have placed increasing pressure on global ecosystems. Particularly in China, intensiv...

Abstract Background Blanket bogs are rare ombrotrophic peatlands that function as important long-term carbon stores. Their persistence depends on strong nutrient limitation, which maintains Sphagnum dominance and suppres...

Long-term ocean time-series stations have significantly advanced our understanding of ocean–climate interactions, yet marginal seas remain underrepresented in global observing networks. The East Sea (Japan Sea) provide...

Abstract Plant nitrogen availability critically limits plant growth and thus constrains terrestrial carbon sequestration. Growing evidence points to a recent decline in plant nitrogen availability, yet the global consist...

A rising human impact alters landscape patterns and determines the agriculture–ecology–economy nexus (AEEN), which further threatens the sustainability of social–ecological system (SES). However, the mechanisms thr...

Forests play a crucial role in ecological stability, carbon sequestration, habitat provision and economy. As climate change intensifies, increasing drought frequency and severity challenge our understanding of forest res...

In the ecologically fragile karst region of Hechi City, Guangxi, unique landforms and human activities have increased demand for multiple ecosystem services (ES), degrading ecological functions, weakening ecological netw...

BackgroundWith increasing pressure for global carbon emission reduction, geologic CO2 sequestration has emerged as a critical technical approach to achieving the goals of peak carbon dioxide emissions and carbon neutrali...

Abstract The Early Permian witnessed the first icehouse‐to‐greenhouse turnover of the vegetated Earth, yet its climate dynamics remain enigmatic. Here, we used mercury (Hg) isotopes from pelagic and continental succe...

This study quantified how soil and water conservation (SWC) practices, slope position, and soil depth influence labile and recalcitrant carbon (LC, RC) and nitrogen (LN, RN) fractions in the Tigray highlands of northern ...

GC-MS analysis of single-skins of ten Melanophryniscus rubriventris toads (five collections of two toads each) captured during their breeding season in NW Argentina has revealed a total of 127 alkaloids of which 56 had n...
