This paper examines the impact of fertilizer use on carbon sequestration in agricultural soils. An international collaboration suggests that fertilizer management plays a key role in soil carbon storage, with implications for climate change…

Yuanyuan Xiong, Guoxin Yu, Xiaofu Chen

This study uses panel data from 30 Chinese provinces (2000-2022) to analyze agricultural carbon emission efficiency and the 'low-carbon efficiency illusion' where measured efficiency does not translate into real reductions. Employing meta-f…

З Х Шогенцукова, I. M. Potravny, A. Kh. Zanilov

This paper evaluates and forecasts the contribution of gardening (intensive dwarf orchards) to greenhouse gas emission reduction and carbon sequestration in Kabardino-Balkaria, Russia. Using data from a 120-hectare pilot project, it estimat…

Yongjun Cai, Jun Ren, Huan Yang +5

This study analyzes carbon emissions from crop farming in China's Yangtze River Economic Belt (2013-2024). Methane from paddy fields is the largest source; emissions from agricultural inputs decline while soil emissions rise. Efficiency imp…

This study examines the impact of internal stem decay on aboveground biomass in fire-prone Pinus ponderosa forests in Oregon. It finds only ~1% biomass loss, confirming that allometric regressions provide reliable carbon stock estimates eve…

Ituen I.

This paper examines methods for estimating carbon and greenhouse gas emissions in remote regions of Canada. While details are unclear, it may contribute to developing emission inventories for hard-to-reach areas.

López-Olmedo N.

This study analyzes greenhouse gas emissions associated with the Mexican diet, identifying social groups with the largest carbon footprint. Findings highlight disparities across income and dietary patterns, offering insights for targeted em…
