Abstract The Alum Shale Formation of Baltica preserves one of the most continuous and fossil-rich records for the Cambrian Period. Thus, the Alum Shale is a key sedimentary archive for refining global chronostratigraphy,...

This review provides a comprehensive examination of carbon capture (CC) technologies, utilization and their integration with e-fuel production as pivotal factors in determining the greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation potenti...

Humans utilise about 40% of the earth’s net primary production (NPP) but the products of this NPP are often managed by different sectors, with timber and forest products managed by the forestry sector and food and fibr...

Background: Carbon footprint quantification currently stands as the most accepted model for assessing the ecological impact of human activities.Selecting the most environmentally friendly treatment for pathologies arisin...

Los bosques tropicales almacenan grandes cantidades de carbono en su biomasa, y por ello juegan un papel determinante en el ciclo global de este elemento. Las variables biofísicas determinan la capacidad de almacenamien...

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...

Abstract Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) transforms wet or dry biomass into hydrochar, generating a nutrient-rich process water, hereafter termed HTC-PW, which is often overlooked as waste. This review synthesizes curre...

Agriculture in Iran operates under acute water scarcity, climate stress, and reliance on input-intensive practices that amplify environmental pressures. This study presents the first long-term, spatially explicit life cy...

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...

GLOBALMENTE, a biota terrestre é um sumidouro significativo de dióxido de carbono (CO2) atmosférico. Estudos recentes do IPCC para a década de 1990 estimam a biota terrestre com sendo um sumidouro líquido de aproxim...

The global shift towards sustainable bioenergy demands not only improved biomass upgrading methods but also credible validation of their techno-economic and environmental feasibility at an industrial scale. Torrefaction ...

O desmatamento na Amazônia procede a um alto ritmo por várias razões, muitas das quais dependem de decisões do governo. O desmatamento leva à perda de serviços ambientais, que têm um valor maior que os usos pouco ...

Peatlands are significant global methane (CH4) sources, but processes governing CH4 dynamics have been predominantly studied on the northern hemisphere. Southern hemispheric and tropical bogs can be dominated by cushion ...

Abstract Methane hydrate dissociation along continental margins has been widely associated with global carbon cycle perturbations and climate changes. However, the relationship between hydrate dynamics, carbon cycle dist...

Amid escalating global climate concerns, the reliance of the transportation sector on high-carbon fossil fuels urgently demands sustainable alternatives. Hydrogen has emerged as a potent solution because of its zero-emis...

Abstract Understanding carbon (C) dynamics in large lake ecosystems poses challenges due to their size, causing uncertainty in their contribution to the global C cycle. Here, we used autonomous underwater vehicles to cal...

This study presents a comparative analysis of the effectiveness of various regression models for estimating forest stand phytomass stocks in spruce forests developed on Al-Fe-humic podzols at the northern tree line in th...

Terrestrial evaporation ($E$) plays a crucial role in the water, energy, and carbon cycles and modulates climate change through multiple feedback mechanisms. While process-based models estimate $E$ using satellite-derive...

Abstract Agricultural management is critical in shaping soil carbon (C) stocks, pools and fluxes. The soil priming effect (PE) is known as a key component of the global C cycle that reflects alterations in soil organic c...

Abstract The Paleozoic paleogeographic and tectonic evolution of the North China Block (NCB) are poorly constrained due to the polarity ambiguity of its early Paleozoic paleopoles. Here we present magnetostratigraphic re...

The expanding deployment of biodegradable mulch films in global agriculture aims to mitigate persistent plastic pollution, yet the fate of resulting biodegradable microplastics (BMPs) in soil ecosystems remains poorly ch...

Temperate forests play an important role in the global carbon (C) cycle. Extensive research on litter decomposition in temperate forests in the Northern Hemisphere have greatly contributed to our conceptual framework of ...

"The thermochemical decomposition of beech wood biomass results in a poor quality bio-oil, which cannot be directly used in diesel engines. In order to make this oil resemble liquid fossil fuels, an upgrading technique s...
