Good surface water quality is critical to human health and ecology. Land use determines the
surface water heat and material balance, which cause climate change and affect water …

Global climate change has resulted in changes to the earth's geological, ecological, and
biological ecosystems, which pose a severe threat to the existence of human civilization and …

Purpose The objectives of the study were as follows:(a) to determine the response of soil
organic carbon (SOC) fractions to vegetation restoration;(b) to examine the contributions of …

The Andes region, a unique high-mountain environment, includes a wide variety of
ecosystems. A significant portion of the population depends on soil ecosystem services that …

Understanding the variability of soil CO 2 emission across several land use and cover
(LULC) classes and biomes and its relationship with climate variables is important to drive …

Soil erosion plays an important role in C cycling at farm scale, especially in bare soil areas.
In Mediterranean woody crops, temporary cover crops (CC) effectively reduce soil erosion …

Soils of mountain ecosystems are one of the most vulnerable ecosystems to climate change,
while the ecosystem services they produce are significant and currently at risk. High altitude …

Deforestation and agricultural operations greatly impact soil organic carbon (SOC) and its
fractions. In order to decrease carbon dioxide emissions, prevent threats to ecosystem …

Alpine grasslands of the Neotropical Andes have high soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks and
provide crucial ecosystem services. However, stability of the SOC in these grasslands is not …

The soil is the largest carbon (C) pool in the terrestrial ecosystem, and soil organic carbon
(SOC) stocks play an important role in global C dynamics. Alpine grasslands of the Andes …
