Understanding and quantifying the global methane (CH 4) budget is important for assessing
realistic pathways to mitigate climate change. Atmospheric emissions and concentrations of …

Soils under natural, tropical forests provide essential ecosystem services that have been
shaped by long-term soil–vegetation feedbacks. However, deforestation of tropical forest …

Climate policy has thus far focused solely on carbon stocks and sequestration to evaluate
the potential of forests to mitigate global warming. These factors are used to assess the …

Executive summary Land and climate interact in complex ways through changes in forcing
and multiple biophysical and biogeochemical feedbacks across different spatial and …

The soil carbon (C) stock, comprising soil organic C (SOC) and soil inorganic C (SIC) and
being the largest reservoir of the terrestrial biosphere, is a critical part of the global C cycle …

Agricultural lands, because of their large area and exhaustive management practices, have
a substantial impact on the earth's carbon and nitrogen cycles, and agricultural activities …

No-tillage (NT) practice is extensively adopted with aims to improve soil physical conditions,
carbon (C) sequestration and to alleviate greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions without …

Soils act as sources and sinks for greenhouse gases (GHG) such as carbon dioxide (CO 2),
methane (CH 4), and nitrous oxide (N 2 O). Since both storage and emission capacities may …

The global methane (CH 4) budget is becoming an increasingly important component for
managing realistic pathways to mitigate climate change. This relevance, due to a shorter …

This chapter addresses the biogeochemical cycles of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4),
and nitrous oxide (N2O). The three greenhouse gases have increased in the atmosphere …
