Abstract Riparian zones provide multiple benefits, including streambank stabilization and nutrient abatement. However, there is a knowledge gap on how the type of vegetation environmental factors (e.g., soil temperature, moisture) within riparian zone influence CO 2 CH 4 emissions. Our objective was to quantify compare emissions from herbaceous (grass) (GRS), rehabilitated composed deciduous trees, an undisturbed natural forested with trees (UNF‐D) or coniferous (UNF‐C), agricultural field....
Afforestation greatly influences several earth system processes, making it essential to understand these effects accurately assess its potential for climate change mitigation. Although our understanding of forest-climate interactions has improved, significant knowledge gaps remain, preventing definitive assessments afforestation's net benefits. In this review, focusing on the Canadian northern boreal and southern arctic, we identify synthesize existing knowledge. The review highlights...
Riparian buffer systems (RBSs) can sequester atmospheric carbon dioxide into terrestrial (C) pools. C stocks and sequestration potential of diverse RBSs are not adequately reported. This study, therefore, quantified: (a) in various (b) system-level potentials (SLCSP) [SLCSP= ΔSOC + Biomass Pools] southern Ontario, Canada. Results showed significant differences (p < 0.05) between tree buffers (765.8 Mg ha -1 ) grass (291.7 natural forest (935.9 rehabilitated (595.6 ), but no difference...
