Effect of deforestation and subsequent land-use management on soil carbon stocks in the South American Chaco
(European Geosciences Union, 2018)
The sub-humid Chaco region of Argentina, originally covered by dry sclerophyll forest, has been subjected to clearing since the end of the '70 and replacement of the forest by no till farming. Land use changes produced a ...
Carbon stock densities of semi-deciduous Atlantic forest and pine plantations in Argentina
(Elsevier, 2020-12)
Recent studies have shown the importance of subtropical forests as terrestrial carbon sinks and also their vulnerability to human disturbances and climate change. The Semi-deciduous Atlantic Forest presents large extensions ...
Characterization of forest carbon stocks at the landscape scale in the Argentine Dry Chaco
(Elsevier Science, 2018-09)
One of the most proposed climate change mitigation strategies is carbon sequestration by vegetation. This depends on the rate of carbon uptake and transformation in biomass, the rate of release through respiration, and the ...
Spatial prediction of soil organic carbon stocks in Ghana using legacy data
(Elsevier, 2019-11)
Soil organic carbon (SOC) is a major driver of the multiple functions of soils in the delivery of ecosystem services. While the spatial prediction and mapping of SOC stocks are of key importance for land managers to ...
Sensitivity of global soil carbon stocks to combined nutrient enrichment
(Wiley, 2019-06)
Soil stores approximately twice as much carbon as the atmosphere and fluctuations in the size of the soil carbon pool directly influence climate conditions. We used the Nutrient Network global change experiment to examine ...
Shrub biomass estimation in the semiarid Chaco forest: a contribution to the quantification of an underrated carbon stockShrub biomass estimation in the semiarid Chaco forest: a contribution to the quantification of an underrated carbon stock
(Edp SciencesEdp Sciences, 2013-03)
Abstract & Context The quantification of biomass of woody plants is at the basis of calculations of forest biomass and carbon stocks. Although there are well-developed allometric models for trees, they do not apply ...
Deforestation impacts on soil organic carbon stocks in the Semiarid Chaco Region, Argentina
(Elsevier Science, 2017-01)
Land use change affects soil organic carbon (SOC) and generates CO2 emissions. Moreover, SOC depletion entails degradation of soil functions that support ecosystem services. Large areas covered by dry ...
Greenhouse gas inventories: Deriving soil organic carbon change factors and assessing soil depth relevance in Argentinean Semiarid Chaco
(Elsevier Science, 2018-06-02)
Soil organic carbon (SOC) is the main terrestrial carbon (C) reservoir. Land use change has depleted SOC stocks and released large amounts of C dioxide (CO2). Thus, the development of reliable tools for SOC stock monitoring ...
Biophysical and socioeconomic factors influencing soil carbon stocks: a global assessment
(Springer, 2020-07-24)
Soil is the most important terrestrial carbon (C) reservoir but is greatly impacted by land use change (LUC). Previous analyses of LUC impacts on soil C have focused on biophysical variables, leaving aside the influence ...
Soil inorganic carbon storage pattern in China
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2008-09)
Soils with pedogenic carbonate cover about 30% (3.44 × 106 km2) of China, mainly across its arid and semiarid regions in the Northwest. Based on the second national soil survey (1979–1992), total soil inorganic carbon (SIC) ...
