We are comparing spatially explicit processmodel based estimates of the terrestrial carbon balance and its components over Africa and confront them with remote sensing based proxies of vegetation productivity and atmospheric inversions of land-atmosphere net carbon exchange. Particular emphasis is on characterizing the patterns of interannual variability of carbon fluxes and analyzing the facto...

Animals consume biomass and emit carbon dioxide, so having more of them will surely add to our worries regarding the greenhouse gases and global warming, right? This argument certainly holds firm for cattle (which also have the habit of emitting methane, which is much worse than carbon dioxide), but recent research has shown that whales may actually put their considerable weight on the good sid...

Biological carbon sequestration is considered an important strategy to mitigate climate change. The energy crop Miscanthus × giganteus has great potential. objective of this study was determine: a) the dry matter yield and content in aboveground belowground biomass; b) total balance plant soil pool. conducted continental Croatia (N 45°51′01.32″; E 16°10′35.85″) by destructive harvesting five-ye...
