In this study, the life cycle assessment (LCA) has been applied to analyze the greenhouse
gas (GHG) emissions and energy requirements in the post-harvest life of apples from the …

On the mountains, along an elevation gradient, we generally observe an ample variation in
temperature, with the associated difference in vegetation structure and composition and soil …

Higher water efficiency and higher carbon efficiency are important goals of sustainable
agricultural development. However, long-term rotary tillage has a negative impact on soil …

Tropical and subtropical forests represent the largest terrestrial carbon pool. Elucidating the
carbon sources for soil microbial respiration (Rm) in tropical and subtropical forests is of …

Prolonged hot periods known as heat waves (HW) are likely to increase in frequency and
intensity due to climate change. Several studies analyzed the impact of recent heat waves …

Understanding root water uptake sources in agricultural systems is becoming increasingly
important in the sustainable management of water resources under changing climatic …

An investigation of soil respiration (R s) is critical to determining the CO 2 emissions and
