Cut-away peatlands devoid of vegetation form a persistent source of carbon (C) to the atmosphere. The restoration of the C sink function in such areas...

Because plant and soil systems are strongly inter-linked, manipulating plant traits in intensively managed agricultural systems could be used to impro...

Ecosystem functioning underpins the ecosystem services upon which humans rely. Critical functions, such as primary and secondary productivity, are, ho...

Human-induced disturbance has substantially influenced the structure and function of terrestrial ecosystems globally. However, the extent to which mul...

Exchange of carbon dioxide (CO₂) from soils can contribute significantly to the global warming potential (GWP) of agro-ecosystems. Due to variations i...

Describes a study in Bleans Woods National Nature Reserve, north-east Kent, to investigate the effects of seasonal and temporal variations in soil tem...

A simple model is used to calculate transpiration and assimilation rates for leaves or canopies. This is then used to investigate interactions between...

Equations are developed for estimating plant DM production. Estimates for a range of crops growing between 14 deg S. and 43 deg N. agreed well with me...

Atmospheric pollution in China is mainly caused by human activities such as urbanization and industrialization. Such activities have increased in the ...

Organic matter decomposition was monitored for 49 days at 15 deg C by measuring CO2 fluxes from microcosms in the form of soil cores. Microcosms were ...
