Abstract Terrestrial vegetation is a substantial carbon sink and plays foundational role in regional global climate change mitigation strategies. The state of California, USA, commits to achieving neutrality by 2045 part managing terrestrial ecosystems sequester more than 80 MMT CO 2 . We used 35-year net primary productivity (NPP) remote sensing product with gridded climate, soil, topography, ...

Semi-steppe rangelands are a complex, highly dynamic and often multi-layered mosaic of grassland, shrubland, and intermediate communities. A few recent studies have explicitly or implicitly developed synthetic hypotheses about how interactive effects of human made disturbances initiate dynamic changes in plant community composition to cause a shifting mosaic of vegetation pattern across the lan...

In this study, total roughage production and its sufficiency for farm animals in Turkey was evaluated. Because of insufficient production, feed prices are relatively high fluctuating Turkey. It estimated that, the 40 363 210 tonnes roughages supplied by meadows pastures (13 164 tonnes), shrublands (11 267 000 tonnes) forage crops (15 932 tonnes). addition, straw stubble as 31 074 800 animal fee...

Native forestry species enable forest restoration and are a sustainable productive alternative. In any plantation —among them, those in which native tree used— knowledge on seedling dynamics is highly relevant for planning management. We describe the —survival height growth— of planted ‘ciprés de la cordillera’, high-value timber Andean-Patagonian forests, northern Patagonia shrublands. carried...

Abstract The carbon balance of the global ecosystems is significantly influenced by soil organic (SOC) pool in China's terrestrial ecosystems. Nevertheless, current understanding main controlling factors SOC different and their discrepancies limited. goal this research was to better understand human environmental variables affecting We designed a conceptual framework using 2674 samples collecte...

Shrub encroachment into grass-dominated biomes is occurring globally due to a variety of anthropogenic activities, but the consequences for carbon (C) inputs, storage and cycling remain unclear. We studied eight North American graminoid-dominated ecosystems invaded by shrubs, from arctic tundra to Atlantic coastal dunes, to quantify patterns and controls of C inputs via aboveground net primary ...
