متن کاملCombustion of Biomass as a Global Carbon Sink
This commentary article highlights the important role of black carbon produced from biomass burning in the global carbon cycle. Consideration of the fundamental chemistry and thermokinetics of cellulose thermal decomposition suggests that suppression of biomass burning or biasing burning practices to produce soot-free flames must inevitably transfer more carbon to the atmosphere. A simple order...
متن کاملTenax as sorption sink for in vitro bioaccessibility measurement of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in soils.
Physiologically based in vitro methods have been developed to measure bioaccessibility of organic contaminants in soils. However, bioaccessibility of hydrophobic organic contaminants (HOCs) can be underestimated by in vitro tests if gastrointestinal (GI) solution fails to provide sufficient sorption sink for HOCs. To circumvent this drawback, Tenax was included in GI solution as sorption sink t...
متن کاملThe carbon sink in intact tropical forests.
To quantify the carbon (C) sink in intact tropical forests, Pan et al. (2011) multiplied ‘...region-specific estimates of C density or change in C density times the associated areas represented by the region-specific estimates.’ A retrospective interpolation based on their numbers provides insight into the possible causes of a C sink in intact tropical forests. First, however, there are two rea...
متن کاملPlant physiology of the "missing" carbon sink.
Plant physiology is deeply entwined with climate change. On one hand, many plant processes are climate sensitive. Plants are potential victims of climate change, threatened by novel conditions that stress natural ecosystems and tax the creativity of agronomists. On the other, plants are also major regulators of climate. One aspect of this regulation involves the absorption and dissipation of so...
