Background Heavy metal pollution has become a global environmental issue. Heavy metals
are contaminating the agro-soils, growing crops, and vegetables through different …

Forests serve as a sink and source of carbon and play a substantial role in regional and
global carbon cycling. The Himalayan forests act as climate regulators of the Hindukush …

Tropical forest ecosystems play a significant role in controlling the global carbon cycle.
Several bio-meteorological parameters control the carbon dynamics of a forest ecosystem …

Low use efficiencies of inorganic fertilizers coupled with their rising costs has diverted
attention of farmers towards organic sources. A study was conducted in Yatta sub-county …

We examined monthly and seasonal changes in soil CO2 flux in the grassland, bamboo and
Dipterocarpus forest ecosystems of Manipur, North East India. Soil CO2 flux was recorded to …

Soil carbon dioxide emission is a major component of ecosystem respiration, responsible for
organic carbon losses from the ecosystem. In Pinus roxburghii Sarg. plantations, higher CO …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) stock is a function of climatic conditions, vegetation and soil
characteristics. SOC pool is comprised of labile and recalcitrant pools with varying residence …

Soil CO 2 efflux was measured in four different coniferous forest types (Cedrus deodara
(CD), Pinus wallichiana (PW), mixed coniferous (MC), and Abies pindrow (AP)) for a period …

The aim of the present study is to study the effect of anthropogenic activities, ie burning and
logging on the rate of soil CO 2 flux and its relationship with the abiotic and the biotic factor …

Dynamics of soil CO2 efflux in tropical dry deciduous forests is imperative to know their
contribution in regulating the regional and global carbon (C) cycles. In this study, three forest …
