This paper uses index decomposition analysis to decompose GHG emission drivers in Turkey's industrial and agricultural sectors, quantifying the effects of economic growth, energy intensity, and other factors. It reveals sector-specific emis…

This study projects temperature changes after global net zero emissions, finding that changes are small but statistically significant. It suggests that temperatures may not stabilize immediately after reaching net zero, with slight increase…

This paper presents the implementation of the nitrogen cycle in the ISBA land surface model and evaluates it using two FACE experiment sites. Including nitrogen improves NPP and carbon stock estimates, and reproduces the downregulation of p…

Using qualitative data from Ghana, this study examines gendered participation in nature-based climate solutions (NbCS). It finds that participation is shaped by intersecting power dynamics (land tenure, wealth, leadership) and that organiza…

Quantifies the impacts of direct and indirect urban expansion on soil conservation services and carbon stock in China from 2000 to 2020. Indirect effects (cropland expansion under the Farmland Requisition-Compensation Balance policy) caused…

This dataset integrates CMIP6 Earth system models with SSP-RCP scenarios (SSP126-585) to provide annual NEP and CO2 emissions for China and provinces at 0.5° resolution from 1980-2060. It supports carbon neutrality research by combining his…

This study quantifies carbon stocks and sequestration in urban green spaces (UGS) in two Indian cities, Panaji and Tumkur. Based on field data from 4,010 trees, hedges, and groundcover, it estimates an average CO2 sequestration of 55 kg per…

This study uses an enhanced InVEST model with dynamic carbon density parameters to assess carbon storage changes in the Qilian Mountains from 1990 to 2100. Historical carbon storage increased, but future climate scenarios project potential …

This study reveals that homebuyers significantly underestimate the carbon footprints of the homes they choose. It highlights a gap between buyer perceptions and actual emissions, suggesting the need for better information and policy interve…

This study develops predictive models for soil organic carbon (SOC), carbon stocks, and fractions along elevation gradients in the dry-temperate region of the North-West Himalaya. Using remote sensing and machine learning, it estimates spat…

This study develops remote sensing and machine learning approaches to monitor permafrost thaw and quantify carbon dynamics on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It generates long-term, large-scale products of permafrost disturbance and environmenta…

This review synthesizes how microplastic (MP) pollution alters soil carbon pool stability and microbial community phylogeny, thereby regulating the carbon cycle. Direct microbial utilization of MP derivatives and changes in oxygen environme…

This study combines satellite and field data to show that climate warming increased carbon sequestration by tundra vegetation in northern Scandinavia, but downstream lakes experienced declining organic carbon and increasing inorganic carbon…

This study assesses the carbon balance of China's lakes by isolating autochthonous organic carbon burial as intrinsic sequestration. In the 2020s, lakes were net carbon sources (-0.83 Tg C/yr), with regional variation. Under SSP2-4.5, resto…

This study assessed surface concentrations of particulate organic carbon (POC) and phytoplankton carbon (C phy) in the northern South China Sea using regionally tuned satellite remote sensing. Match-up comparisons showed uncertainties of ±2…

This review argues that deep soil organic carbon (dSOC) must be understood through its unique inputs, transport pathways, and stabilization mechanisms, distinct from surface SOC. dSOC persistence is controlled by interacting hydrological, g…

Using a coupled hydro-eco-morphodynamic model, this study quantifies carbon uptake and sequestration in seagrass meadows of the Wadden Sea's Sylt-Rømø Bay. Annual carbon uptake is 895±465 tC, with only ~24% stored in sediments, lower than p…

Blue carbon ecosystems (BCEs) like mangroves, salt marshes, and seagrasses sequester CO2 long-term but face threats from climate change and degradation. Conservation and restoration are vital natural climate solutions, while marine geoengin…

This study measured plant-mediated and diffusive CO2 and CH4 emissions in a Ugandan papyrus wetland. The wetland was a strong CH4 source in the rainy season, with plant-mediated fluxes averaging 3.6 nmol stem-1 s-1 and diffusive emissions 9…

This paper evaluates the potential and ecological trade-offs of using the brown alga Sargassum polycystum for ocean carbon removal in the Arabian Sea. It examines the effectiveness of seaweed cultivation for carbon sequestration and its imp…
