Abstract Soil plays a key role in the global carbon (C) cycle. Most current assessments of SOC stocks and guidelines given by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) focus top 30 cm soil. Our research shows that, when considering only total quantities, most are found this layer. However, not all forms equally valuable as long-term stable stores carbon: majority is available for mineralisation can potentially be re-emitted to atmosphere. associated with micro-aggregates silt plus...
Core Ideas Managing soil organic carbon is an essential aspect of climate‐smart agriculture. Combining component research, we derive a management concept for Ireland. Optimized differentiated in accordance with type. Existing policy tools can be tailored to incentivize land management. Soils sink or source carbon, and managing has significant potential partially offset agricultural greenhouse gas emissions. While European Union (EU) member states have not been permitted account this...
<p>Domestic wastewater (WW) is an important carrier of nutrients usually wasted away by current centralised sewage treatment plants. The Run4Life project proposes alternative strategy for increasing circularity WW systems and improving nutrient recovery rates material qualities. This based on a decentralised segregated black water (BW), kitchen waste grey combining existing innovative technologies.</p><p>Run4Life currently technologies, these being:...
