The term carbon (C) sequestration has not just become a buzzword but is something of a
siren's call to scientific communicators and media outlets. Carbon sequestration is the …

Background The soil represents a reservoir that contains at least twice as much carbon as
does the atmosphere, yet (apart from 'root crops') mainly just the above-ground plant …

The net flux of carbon from land use and land-cover change (LULCC) accounted for 12.5%
of anthropogenic carbon emissions from 1990 to 2010. This net flux is the most uncertain …

Pyrogenic carbon (C) is produced by incomplete combustion of fuels including organic
matter (OM). Certain ranges in the combustion continuum are termed 'black carbon'(BC) …

Aims Soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks of croplands can be enhanced by targeted
management, which boosts soil fertility and contributes to climate change mitigation. One …

power densities of renewable energy flows, fossil fuels, and all common energy …

Bioenergy from crops is expected to make a considerable contribution to climate change
mitigation. However, bioenergy is not necessarily carbon neutral because emissions of CO …
