The Amazon Basin is at the center of an intensifying discourse about deforestation, land-use, and global change. To date, climate research in has overwhelmingly focused on cycling storage carbon (C) its implications for climate. Missing, however, a more comprehensive consideration other significant biophysical feedbacks [i.e., CH 4 , N 2 O, black carbon, biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs), aerosols, evapotranspiration, albedo] their dynamic responses to both localized (fire,...
Soils comprise the largest pool of terrestrial carbon yet have lost significant stocks due to human activity. Changes land management in cropland and grazing systems present opportunities sequester soils at large scales. Uncertainty magnitude this potential impact is largely driven by difficulties costs associated with measuring near-surface (0–30 cm) soil concentrations; a key component stock assessments. Many techniques exist optimize sampling, few studies compared these varying sample...
Abstract The carbon neutral potential of bioenergy relies in part on the ability feedstocks to sequester (C) soil. Sugarcane is one most widely used crops, yet there remain unknowns about how it impacts soil C dynamics. In addition, Oilcane, a genetically modified version has been produced accumulate more energy‐dense oils and less soluble lignin, which enhances conversion efficiency but may also impact cycling. Thus, our objectives were examine litter decomposition formation losses...
