日本語
本政策論文は、気候変動対策における森林の役割を再定義する。従来の炭素貯留に加えて、蒸発散・揮発性有機化合物・雲形成による物理的冷却機能を強調。EUの農地での菌根菌促進と不耕起栽培により190～400 Mt CO2eq/年のポテンシャル、N₂O削減、SRI稲作によるCH₄削減など具体策を示す。
English
This policy paper challenges the carbon-centric view of climate interventions by distinguishing the biophysical cooling function of forests (evapotranspiration, BVOCs, cloud formation) from CO₂ sequestration in croplands via mycorrhizal fungi and no-till agriculture. It estimates EU cropland potential at 190–400 Mt CO₂eq/yr and quantifies N₂O reduction and methane mitigation from SRI rice.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本の森林経営やカーボンオフセット市場にとって、森林の物理的冷却効果を無視した炭素単一指標の限界を示唆する。SSBJや有報での気候関連開示において、森林関連クレジットの質的評価に影響を与える可能性がある。
In the global GX context
Globally, this paper poses a fundamental challenge to carbon-centric climate disclosure frameworks like TCFD and ISSB: reducing climate impact solely to CO₂ equivalents may overlook critical biophysical effects. It strengthens the case for incorporating ecosystem-based adaptation and non-CO₂ metrics into transition finance and national climate plans.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Offers a conceptual framework to expand climate impact assessment beyond carbon, with empirical potential for EU croplands.
🏢実務担当者:Provides actionable agricultural practices (AMF, no-till, SRI) that can complement carbon accounting for companies seeking nature-based solutions.
🏛政策担当者:Presents a strong argument for EU and national policymakers to integrate biophysical cooling into climate strategies and land-use regulation.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Please cite this paper via the concept DOI 10.5281/zenodo.19536863, which resolves to the most recent version. Policy paper available in two languages (German original + English translation). New in this version: functional division of climate interventions — forests for physical cooling (ET, BVOC, clouds), cropland for CO₂ sequestration (mycorrhiza/AMF + no-till). EU cropland potential: 190–400 Mt CO₂eq/yr (5–11% of EU emissions) via AMF promotion and no-till. N₂O reduction via AMF (−11%, nosZ gene). SRI rice: −50–60% CH₄. Action table updated with no-till/AMF premium. Riparian forest quantification: Hannover-Fuhrberg case study, 80,000 km² EU floodplain restoration = 40–100% of lost industrial SO₂ cooling shield. Target audience: EU Parliament, Bundestag, UNFCCC delegations. Deutsches Policy Paper + englische Übersetzung. Neu: Funktionstrennung Wald=Kühlung / Acker=CO₂-Sequestrierung via Mykorrhiza. EU-Ackerland 190–400 Mt CO₂eq/yr Potenzial. Mykorrhiza reduziert N₂O (−11%), SRI-Reis −50–60% CH₄.
