During the past century, systematic wildfire suppression has decreased fire frequency and
increased fire severity in the western United States of America. While this has resulted in …

Primary forest conversion is a worldwide serious problem associated with human
disturbance and climate change. Land use change from primary forest to plantation …

Arid and semi-arid soils often show a pulse of soil greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions upon
re-wetting–whether from irrigation water or rainfall. We used a laboratory incubation to …

Ecosystem monitoring networks aim to collect data on physical, chemical and biological
systems and their interactions that shape the biosphere. Here we introduce the Australian …

Controlling and adjusting the reconstructed soil bulk density (RSBD) in an artificially
disturbed ecosystem is one of the main challenges in land reclamation. Exploring the spatial …

Forest soils are the most important terrestrial sink of atmospheric methane (CH4). Climatic,
soil and anthropogenic drivers affect CH4 fluxes, but it is poorly known the relative weight of …

Land degradation and restoration profoundly affect soil CH4 uptake capacity in terrestrial
ecosystems. However, a comprehensive assessment of the response of soil CH4 uptake to …

Abstract The Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) in central North America consists of millions of
depressional wetlands that each have considerable potential to emit methane (CH 4) …

Exploring the responses of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to land use conversion or
reversion is significant for taking effective land use measures to alleviate global warming. A …

Vegetation coverage is an important parameter for affecting soil erosion and the physical
and chemical properties of soil. To analyze the mutual influence between vegetation …
