A 55-week soil microcosm study tested how olivine-enhanced weathering interacts with labile carbon inputs to affect soil organic carbon. Olivine alone reduced total organic carbon, but with glucose it initially suppressed microbial carbon u…

Using one offline ocean biogeochemical model driven by physical fields from 12 PMIP models, the authors isolate how ocean physics uncertainty affects glacial atmospheric pCO2. The mean LGM drawdown is 40.3 ppmv, driven by SST-cooling solubi…

This integrative review examines why high yields in irrigated oasis croplands do not guarantee durable soil organic carbon retention. It argues the key constraint is not biomass input but carbon-transfer bottlenecks—salinity-driven microbia…

Using remote sensing and land-use data for 2000, 2010 and 2020, the study estimates NPP via the CASA model in central Chongqing and applies landscape metrics with XGBoost–SHAP to explain spatial carbon sequestration. Adding landscape indice…

Analyzing 335 Chinese cities (2005–2020), the study assesses how urban–rural integration (URI) reshapes the carbon source–sink balance via a carbon offset effect (COE) indicator. National carbon deficit widened from 4.65 to 9.5 Gt CO2, with…

This narrative review synthesizes evidence on agroforestry in India across economic, environmental and social dimensions, covering diversified outputs (timber, fruit, fodder, fuelwood) and ecosystem services such as soil protection, carbon …

Manual content analysis of ~50 outlets in five food-important countries (Argentina, Australia, Brazil, UK, USA) on COP28 coverage of the food-climate nexus. Only 6% of COP28 coverage discussed food in depth; meat/livestock defenders (trade …

Integrating carbon-cycle data from nine DGVMs into the REMIND-MAgPIE-MAGICC framework, the authors show that varying vegetation carbon-density assumptions alone substantially shifts cost-effective land-based mitigation. Under 1.7°C, cumulat…

This review synthesizes evidence on how climate change degrades soil physical, chemical, and biological functions, and evaluates sustainable management strategies such as conservation agriculture, organic matter management, diversified crop…

Using Indonesian data from 1990–2023, this study tests how fisheries production, renewable and fossil energy, and income affect CO₂ emissions within an EKC framework. ARDL-bounds and quantile regressions show fisheries production reduces em…

This study applies the Generalized Divisia Index Decomposition Method (GDIM) to 2014–2023 carbon emission data for the Chengdu-Chongqing metropolitan area. Population growth, economic expansion, and total energy consumption drive emissions,…

This paper examines how blue carbon is being made governable in China through standardisation efforts and local experimentation. It draws out policy implications for building credible blue-carbon frameworks. Details are limited as no abstra…

A participatory framework co-designed mangrove restoration and protection priorities in Placencia, Belize, combining community mapping with high-resolution habitat mapping. Modeling quantified blue carbon, lobster fisheries, tourism, and so…

Two structurally distinct landscape models (LUCAS and LANDIS-II) were run under shared climate scenarios and current management to project California forest carbon. Both converged on net carbon loss over four decades (6%/145 Tg C and 4%/94 …

Using CMIP6 projections and a US county-level temperature-mortality model, the study quantifies how methane and air-pollutant mitigation affect future temperature-attributable deaths. Aggressive methane mitigation lowers net mortality by 5.…

This PRISMA-informed review synthesizes evidence on conservation agriculture (CA) across Indian agro-ecosystems, covering soil health, water dynamics, crop productivity, GHG emissions and climate resilience. CA generally improves aggregate …

Orabi W.

This work appears to address ways to minimize greenhouse gas emissions from construction activities and processes. With no abstract available, the specific methods, scope, and quantified reduction effects remain unclear. Construction-sector…

This study examines how long-term fertilization regimes affect greenhouse gas emissions and the carbon footprint of spring maize production on reclaimed cropland. It offers empirical evidence that fertilizer management choices shape the cli…

Using a multi-service Faustmann–Hartman model, this study compares optimal rotation periods and land expectation values for three Sichuan plantation species across timber, carbon-sink, and multi-objective scenarios. Non-market ecosystem ser…

This study quantifies how shifting toward plant-based meat alternatives could curb agricultural land expansion and cut agricultural greenhouse gas emissions. It finds meaningful mitigation potential but flags trade-offs in micronutrient sup…
