Abstract International initiatives set ambitious targets for ecological restoration, which is considered a promising greenhouse gas mitigation strategy. Here, we conduct meta-analysis to quantify the impacts of restoration on emissions using dataset compiled from 253 articles. Our findings reveal that forest and grassland increase CH 4 uptake by 90.0% 30.8%, respectively, mainly due changes in soil properties. Conversely, wetland increases 544.4%, primarily attributable elevated water table...

Agricultural soils are considered to have great potential for carbon sequestration through land-use change. In this paper, we compiled data from the literatures and studied change in soil organic (SOC) following 'Grain-for-Green' Programme (GGP, i.e., conversion farmland plantation, secondary forests grasslands) China. The results showed that SOC stocks accumulated at an average rate of 36·67 g m−2 y−1 top 20 cm with large variation. current storage could be estimated using initial stock...

Abstract Land use/land cover change (LULCC) and climate are among the primary driving forces for terrestrial ecosystem productivity, but their impacts confounded. The objective of this paper is to decouple effects LULCC on net productivity (NPP) in China's Yangtze River Basin (YRB) during 2001–2010 using a light use efficiency model through different scenario designs. During study period, YRB witnessed tremendous changes. A prominent was conversion shrub land forests as result series forest...

Knowledge of soil organic matter (SOM) dynamics following deforestation or reforestation is essential for evaluating carbon (C) budgets and cycle at regional global scales. Worldwide land-use changes involving conversion vegetation with different photosynthetic pathways (e.g. C3 C4 ) offer a unique opportunity to quantify SOM decomposition rate its response climatic conditions using stable isotope techniques. We synthesized the results from 131 sites (including 87 observations 44...

Abstract Aim Leaf litter decomposition in freshwater ecosystems is a vital process linking ecosystem nutrient cycling, energy transfer and trophic interactions. In comparison to terrestrial ecosystems, which researchers find that traits predominantly regulate worldwide, the dominant factors controlling its aquatic are still debated, with global patterns not well documented. Here, we aimed explore general key drivers (e.g., traits, climate water characteristics) of leaf streams worldwide....

Abstract Soil microbial diversity affects soil chemical cycling and ecosystem function. However, how highly connected keystone species regulate associated structure function (of the whole community of specialized species), irrespective their abundance under land use change, remains unresolved. Here, we identified relationship between [soil phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) richness composition, ammonia‐oxidizing archaea bacteria (AOA AOB) communities] with both a broad (i.e. respiration)...

Summary Soil organic carbon ( SOC ) dynamics is crucial for evaluating ecosystem balance and its feedback to climate warming. However, it difficult detect statistically significant changes in stock over short‐time period due large pool size, slow turnover time huge spatial heterogeneity. Stable isotopic measurements, such as Δ δ 13 C (i.e. the difference of natural abundance 12 (δ C) between surface soils source plants) variations along environmental gradients provide an alternative approach...
