[1] We develop and extend a theoretical framework to analyze the impacts of changes in temperature and alkalinity on the ocean‐atmosphere carbon partitioning. When investigating the impact of temperature, we assume that there is no change in the global ocean alkalinity. This idealized situation is probably most relevant on intermediate timescales of hundreds to thousands of years. Our results s...

The Songnen Plain of Northeast China is one the three largest soda saline–alkaline regions in world. To better understand soil alkalinization this important agricultural region China, it vital to explore driving factors alkalinity. Combined with prior research on Wuyu’er–Shuangyang River Basin, study examined alkalinity using Geodetector method. First, analysis results risk detector, factor and...

The Green Revolution in India has achieved self-sufficiency in food production. However, in the state of Haryana this has resulted in continuous environmental degradation, particularly of soil, vegetation and water resources. Soil organic matter levels are declining and the use of chemical inputs is intensifying. Newly introduced crop varieties have been responsive to inputs but this has necess...

The waterlogged terrace wet rice-fields of Apatani Plateau located at an altitude of 1500msl in Arunachal Pradesh of the north eastern India are stocked with fish Common carp (Cyprinus carpio L) for several decades. The fishes are not fed with supplementary feeds because of the rich organic nature of the rice-fields. The study on water and soil of these fields revealed a strong corelation to su...

Salinisation is the accumulation of water-soluble salts in the soil solum or regolith to a level that impacts on agricultural production, environmental health and economic welfare. Salt-affected soils occur in more than a hundred countries of the world with a variety of extents, nature and properties. No climatic zone in the world is free from salinisation, although the general perception is fo...

The treated effluent was collected from JK paper mill from its outlet. The physico-chemical characteristics of paper mill treated effluent were measured. The most of the quality parameters were found to be below the permissible limits prescribed by Indian irrigation water standard, except electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids and alkalinity. This study was conducted to investigate the...

Effective long-term monitoring of commercial carbon dioxide (CO2) geosequestration sites must involve multiple and integrated measurement, monitoring, and sampling techniques in order to identify and quantify CO2 leakage. Measuring changes in CO2 soil gas concentrations in the shallow sub-surface can be problematic due to naturally variable background levels, water table elevation changes, and ...
