The measures taken to contain the spread of COVID-19 in 2020 included restrictions people's mobility and reductions economic activities. These drastic changes daily life, enforced through national lockdowns, led abrupt anthropogenic CO2 emissions urbanized areas all over world. To examine effect social on local CO2, we analysed district level fluxes measured by eddy-covariance technique from 13 stations 11 European cities. data span several years before pandemic until October (six months...
Do Poplar Plantations Contribute to Soil Carbon Storage? A Closer LookPoplar plantations, a cornerstone of Italy’s wood economy, are promoted as promising tool for carbon (C) farming and climate mitigation mainly due their capacity store C in the living biomass. However, it remains uncertain whether these systems capable having positive impact on SOC dynamics. Thus, this study aims investigate role poplar plantations sequestration, addressing key uncertainties while aligning with...
Abstract Soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration is a key function of natural and semi‐natural ecosystems. Restoring this property in terrestrial ecosystems has become central to the EU's climate change mitigation adaptation strategies. However, SOC widely misunderstood concept. The different methodological approaches used investigate compare stock under sustainable agricultural practices play role reinforcing misconceptions about complex process. This commentary paper aimed not only provide...
Soil organic carbon (SOC) depletion, primarily driven by land use change, is a global challenge influenced factors such as climate, plant cultivation, and adopted management practices. Poplar plantations (PP), predominantly used for plywood bioenergy production in the Mediterranean, have shown (C) potential capture biomass. However, their contribution to SOC climate change mitigation remains understudied. Thus, this study evaluates of PP enhancing stocks arable soils Northern Italy covering...
