Journal of Environmental Management, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 364, С. 121487 - 121487

Опубликована: Июнь 17, 2024

This study explores agronomic management (AM) effects on soil parameters under diverse conditions. Investigating tillage practices (TP), nutrient (NM), crop rotation (CR), organic matter (OM), irrigation (IM), and mulching (MS), it aims to reveal impacts productivity, availability, microbial activity, overall health. Varied TP affect quality through compaction, porosity, erosion risk. Proper NM is vital for cycling, preventing imbalances acidification. CR disrupts pest cycles, reduces weed pressure, boosts recycling. OM enhances by influencing carbon, pH, fertility, water retention. Optimizing IM regulates content without inducing waterlogging. MS contributes content, retention, structure, temperature-moisture regulation, benefiting biota, aggregation, health agricultural productivity. The review emphasizes integrated nutrient, CR, management's positive impact fertility activity. Different variations production. Judicious implementation of these essential sustainable agriculture. synthesis identifies uncertainties proposes research directions optimizing productivity while ensuring environmental sustainability. Ongoing inquiry can guide a balanced approach between yields resilient stewardship future generations.

Soil moisture controls over carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas emissions: a review

npj Climate and Atmospheric Science, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 8(1)

Опубликована: Янв. 14, 2025

This literature review synthesizes the role of soil moisture in regulating carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas emissions (CS-GHG). Soil directly affects photosynthesis, respiration, microbial activity, organic matter dynamics, with optimal levels enhancing storage while extremes, such as drought flooding, disrupt these processes. A quantitative analysis is provided on effects CS-GHG across various ecosystems climatic conditions, highlighting a "Peak Decline" pattern for CO₂ at 40% water-filled pore space (WFPS), CH₄ N₂O peak higher (60–80% around 80% WFPS, respectively). The also examines ecosystem models, discussing how dynamics are incorporated to simulate nutrient cycling. Sustainable management practices, including conservation agriculture, agroforestry, optimized water management, prove effective mitigating GHG by maintaining ideal levels. further emphasizes importance advancing multiscale observations feedback modeling through high-resolution remote sensing ground-based data integration, well hybrid frameworks. interactive model-experiment framework emerges promising approach linking experimental model refinement, enabling continuous improvement predictions. From policy perspective, shifting focus from short-term agricultural productivity long-term crucial. Achieving this shift will require financial incentives, robust monitoring systems, collaboration among stakeholders ensure sustainable practices effectively contribute climate mitigation goals.

Impact of Ecological Restoration on Carbon Sink Function in Coastal Wetlands: A Review

Water, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 17(4), С. 488 - 488

Опубликована: Фев. 9, 2025

Reducing carbon emissions and increasing sinks have become the core issues of international community. Although coastal blue ecosystems (such as mangroves, seagrass beds, salt marshes large algae) account for less than 0.5% seafloor area, they contain more 50% marine reserves, occupying an important position in global cycle. However, with rapid development economy continuous expansion human activities, wetlands suffered serious damage, their sequestration capacity has been greatly limited. Ecological restoration emerged a key measure to reverse this trend. Through series measures, including restoring hydrological conditions damaged wetlands, cultivating suitable plant species, effectively managing invasive species rebuilding habitats, ecological is committed functions service value. Therefore, paper first reviews research status influencing factors wetland sinks, discusses objectives, types measures various projects, analyzes impact these projects on sink function, proposes suggestions incorporating enhancement into restoration.

Soil organic carbon stock in a peat-wetland ecosystem in the Cerrado biome under different land covers and its role in water storage

Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 49

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2025

ABSTRACT Wetlands provide important ecosystem services, including climate regulation through carbon sequestration and water storage. Identifying protecting wetlands is a potentially significant opportunity for current global mitigation efforts. Cerrado commonly contain carbon-rich soils (peat); however, these environments have been neglected due to lack of knowledge on their characteristics behaviors. Obtaining data in remote regions using detailed sampling approach characterize the organic accumulation extremely necessary. In this study, soil samples from 40 points peat-wetland (173.16 ha) Urucuia River watershed (Minas Gerais, Brazil) were analyzed every 0.20 m up 1.20 depth. Their chemical physico-hydraulic properties studied quantify storage under different land covers. addition, influence dry period was also investigated. Considering contribution each vegetation type, (weighted) average wetland stocks 321.91 Mg ha -1 at full depth, whereby vereda (462.59 ) gallery forest (447.63 biggest stockers compared wet grassland (267.22 ), pasture (123.46 stricto sensu (57.77 ). Also, study area holds 677.38 mm water, with following depths: 831.32 forest, 780.42 vereda, 693.63 grassland, 297.59 pasture, 220.33 sensu. The total mass stored volume respectively 55,741.94 1,155,635.21 3 , respectively. A correlation between found (0.73), highlighting role matter plays storage, latter greater can be explained by layer depth rather than type. However, surface layers show evidence degradation process that may linked lowering level subsurface lateral flow, either indirect use and/or input mineral material (erosion process). highlight riparian zones biome must protected maintain services.

Combining lime and organic amendments based on titratable alkalinity for efficient amelioration of acidic soils

SOIL, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 10(1), С. 33 - 47

Abstract. Ameliorating soil acidity using a combination of lime and organic amendments (OAs) can be an alternative to alone, but determining the appropriate OA rates difficult. We developed new method for calculating combined application rate OAs (wheat straw, faba bean blended poultry litter, biochar, compost) that is based on titratable alkalinity equilibrium buffer capacity (LBCeq) acidic soils. The effect calculated amendment pH was validated at water contents 60 %, 100 150 % field (FC). used develop validate sandy loam with in deionised (pHW) 4.84 0.01 M CaCl2 solution (pHCa) 4.21. LBCeq 1657 mg CaCO3 kg−1 pH−1 (where “CaCO3 pH−1” denotes amount required raise 1 kg by one unit). ranged from 11.7 cmol Heq+ wheat straw 357 compost. At FC, increased pHW 6.48 6.42, respectively, lower values were reached amended less biodegradable or resistant (ROAs) (i.e. compost). two straws only 5.93 5.75, possibly due slower decomposition under submerged conditions, resulting limited production, whereas ROAs produced close 6.5. With increasing lime-equivalent value (LEV) OA, 5.8 g straw) 179 (compost), requirement reach 6.5 lime–OA combinations decreased 2.72 0.09 kg−1. shown effective (with without additional lime) management soils this study highlights importance content respect its acid-neutralising effect.
