Community diversity, structure and carbon footprint of nematode food web following reforestation on degraded Karst soil
We examined community diversity, structure and carbon footprint of nematode food web along a chronosequence of T. Sinensis reforestation on degraded Karst. In general, after the reforestation: a serious of diversity parameters and community indices (Shannon-Weinier index (H'), structure index (SI), etc.) were elevated; biomass ratio of fungivores to bacterivores (FFC/BFC), and fungi to bacteria...
متن کاملImplications of a large global root biomass for carbon sink estimates and for soil carbon dynamics.
Recent evidence suggests that significantly more plant carbon (C) is stored below ground than existing estimates indicate. This study explores the implications for biome C pool sizes and global C fluxes. It predicts a root C pool of at least 268 Pg, 68% larger than previously thought. Although still a low-precision estimate (owing to the uncertainties of biome-scale measurements), a global root...
متن کاملVulnerability of the peatland carbon sink to sea-level rise
Freshwater peatlands are carbon accumulating ecosystems where primary production exceeds organic matter decomposition rates in the soil, and therefore perform an important sink function in global carbon cycling. Typical peatland plant and microbial communities are adapted to the waterlogged, often acidic and low nutrient conditions that characterise them. Peatlands in coastal locations receive ...
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...
