Biofuels from crop residue can reduce soil carbon and increase CO<sub>2</sub> emissions
Removal of corn residue for biofuels can decrease soil organic carbon1,2 (SOC) and increase CO2 emissions3 because residue C in biofuels is oxidized to CO2 at a faster rate than when added to soil.4,5 Net CO2 emissions from residue removal are not adequately characterized in biofuel life cycle assessment (LCA).6–8 Here we used a model to estimate CO2 emissions from corn residue removal across t...
متن کاملImpact of mooring activities on carbon stocks in seagrass meadows
Boating activities are one of the causes that threaten seagrass meadows and the ecosystem services they provide. Mechanical destruction of seagrass habitats may also trigger the erosion of sedimentary organic carbon (Corg) stocks, which may contribute to increasing atmospheric CO2. This study presents the first estimates of loss of Corg stocks in seagrass meadows due to mooring activities in Ro...

متن کاملSimulations show decreasing carbon stocks and potential for carbon emissions in Rocky Mountain forests over the next century.
Climate change has altered the environment in which forests grow, and climate change models predict more severe alterations to come. Forests have already responded to these changes, and the future temperature and precipitation scenarios are of foremost concern, especially in the mountainous western United States, where forests occur in the dry environments that interface with grasslands. The ob...
متن کاملCarbon stocks of intact mangroves and carbon emissions arising from their conversion in the Dominican Republic.
Mangroves are recognized to possess a variety of ecosystem services including high rates of carbon sequestration and storage. Deforestation and conversion of these ecosystems continue to be high and have been predicted to result in significant carbon emissions to the atmosphere. Yet few studies have quantified the carbon stocks or losses associated with conversion of these ecosystems. In this s...
