In this review article, we explore how surface-level ozone affects trees and crops with special emphasis on consequences for productivity and carbon sequestration. Vegetation exposure to ozone reduces photosynthesis, growth, and other plant functions. Ozone formation in the atmosphere is a product of NOx, which are also a source of nitrogen deposition. Reduced carbon sequestration of temperate ...

the underlying processes, capacity, and longevity of C pools in agricultural lands. One of our current challenges is to quantify the mechanisms, capacStudies have shown that increases in SOC levels are ity, and longevity of C stabilization in agricultural lands. The objectives directly linked to the return of fresh organic material of this study were to evaluate the long-term (10 yr) role of C ...

soil is known as a suitable reservoir for carbon sequestration. the objective of this study was to investigate the capability of haloxylon on sequestration of carbon in sand dunes of yahya abad, sabzevar, in northeastern iran. eighty soil samples were taken from two depths of 0-5 and 5-10 cm under and between haloxylon trees. eight soil profiles under and between haloxylon trees were described ...

carbon sequestration potential of three species including agropyron elengatum, stipa barbata and artemisia aucheri was evaluated in parts of a semi-arid rangeland in this study. after determination and selecting key areas as study sites, sampling from vegetation and soil, based on randomized systematic method, was done and 90 plant and 45 soil samples were taken, respectively. shooting and root...

carbon is the most important greenhouse element which sequestrates by photosynthesis procedure and is the easiest and cheapest way of decreasing atmospheric gas level. the vegetation cover that has woody texture is more capable for carbon sequestration. the most plant species of arid rangelands are the shrub growth forms. the purpose of this research was to assess carbon sequestration potential...

Desertification leads to decrease in the ecosystem C pool and attendant reduction in Soil Organic Carbon (SOC). Reclamation of sandy land in arid and semi-arid has a high potential to increase carbon sequestration and improving soil quality. Our objective as to examine the changes in the soil carbon sequestration and soil properties of two soil layers (0–20 and 20-50 cm) under two types of recl...
