Almost half of the total organic carbon (C) in terrestrial ecosystems is stored in forest soils.
By altering rates of input or release of C from soils, forest management activities can …

Abstract The Brazilian Cerrado is recognized as one of the most threatened biomes in the
world, as the region has experienced a striking change from natural Cerrado vegetation to …

通过对比分析六盘山林区典型天然次生林(杂灌林, 山杨和辽东栎林) 与农田, 草地及农田,
草地与人工林(13, 18 和25 年生华北落叶松) 邻近样地土壤有机碳含量和密度及其在土壤剖面上 …

Deforestation usually results in significant losses of soil organic carbon (SOC). The rate and
factors determining the recovery of this C pool with afforestation are still poorly understood …

Food production in developing countries, estimated at 1223 million metric tons (Mg), must be
increased by 778 million Mg or 2· 5 per cent y− 1 between 2000 and 2025 to meet the needs …

Energy consumption dominates annual CO2 emissions in China. It is essential to
significantly reduce CO2 emissions from energy consumption to reach national carbon …

Afforestation, the conversion of non‐forested lands to forest plantations, can sequester
atmospheric carbon dioxide, but the rapid growth and harvesting of biomass may deplete …

Although a great deal of information exists about the effect of land use on soil enzyme
activities, much of this is contradictory and brings into question the suitability of soil enzyme …

Land degradation is a complex concept that integrates different aspects, including changes
in soil conditions, biodiversity, productivity and socio-economic implications, compared to a …

This paper reviews current knowledge on changes in carbon stocks upon land use
conversion in the Brazilian Cerrado. First, we briefly characterize the savanna ecosystem …
