There is a global demand for soil data and information for food security and global
environmental management. There is also great interest in recognizing the soil system as a …

This paper reviews current knowledge on changes in carbon stocks upon land use
conversion in the Brazilian Cerrado. First, we briefly characterize the savanna ecosystem …

摘要基于1∶ 400 万的《 中华人民共和国土壤图》 和第二次土壤普查数据,

Brazil has a monitoring system to track annual forest conversion in the Amazon and most
recently to monitor the Cerrado biome. However, there is still a gap of annual land use and …

Brazil has extensive forests and savannas on deep weathered soils and plays a key role in
the discussions about carbon sequestration, but the distribution of soil organic carbon (SOC) …

Abstract The Amazon basin includes 550 Mha covered with rainforests, and 60% of this area
is in Brazil. The conversion of rainforest for soybean production raises concerns about how …

The soil is important in sequestering atmospheric CO2 and in emitting trace gases (eg CO2,
CH4 and N2O) that are radiatively active and enhance the 'greenhouse'effect. Land use …

New livestock production models need to simultaneously meet the increasing global
demand for meat and preserve biodiversity and ecosystem services. Since the 16th century …

Spatial estimates of tropical soil organic carbon (SOC) concentrations and stocks are crucial
to understanding the role of tropical SOC in the global carbon cycle. They also allow for …

Carbon (C) storage and sequestration in agricultural soils is considered to be an important
issue in the study of terrestrial C cycling and global climatic change. The baseline C stock …
