The Accumulation and Seasonal Dynamic of the Soil Organic Carbon in Wetland of the Yellow River Estuary, China by Xianxiang Luo, Leyun Wang, Meng Dun, Jianqiang Yang, Zhenyu Wang

“…It is essential to study the carbon pool and its variations for evaluating the carbon cycle process. The study results regarding the temporal-spatial distribution and influential factors of soil organic carbon in four typical wetlands belonging to the Yellow River estuary showed that there was no significant difference in the contents of the surface soil TOC to the same season among the four types of wetlands. …”

Spectral Estimation of Soil Properties in Siberian Tundra Soils and Relations with Plant Species Composition by Harm Bartholomeus, Gabriela Schaepman-Strub, Daan Blok, Roman Sofronov, Sergey Udaltsov

“…Due to its large spatial extent and large stocks of soil organic carbon, changes to organic matter decomposition rates and associated carbon fluxes in Arctic permafrost soils will significantly impact the global carbon cycle. We explore the potential of soil spectroscopy to estimate soil carbon properties and investigate the relation between soil properties and vegetation composition. …”

Spatial-temporal Evolution of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) in the Huaihe River Basin from 1999 to 2018 by GAO Zheng, LIU Saiyan, QIN Xuan, XU Liuxin

“…Vegetation is one of the main participants in the global carbon cycle and plays an important role in land surface water transport and energy transmission.Based on the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) of the Huaihe River Basin (HRB) from 1999 to 2018,the spatial-temporal evolution law of NDVI was studied on three time scales (month,quarter,and year) through the Mann-Kendall trend test and empirical orthogonal function (EOF) decomposition.The following findings are obtained.① Affected by crop maturity and different landforms,the multi-year average values of monthly NDVI in the HRB present an M-shaped distribution as a whole,and there are some differences in the mean value and variation range of NDVI in different sub-basins.② In the downstream area with more farmlands,the NDVI shows an insignificant downward trend in summer and winter,while in other three sub-basins of the river,the NDVI follows an upward trend in all seasons,especially in spring and autumn.③ The annual NDVI of the basin exhibits a significant upward trend,which is the same as the global greening trend.This also indicates that returning cropland back to forests and other soil and water conservation measures have achieved remarkable results in vegetation restoration and ecological protection in the basin for the past 20 years.④ The spatial distribution of NDVI modes in the HRB shows simultaneous increases or decreases overall,with a great difference existing between the western and eastern areas.Vegetation coverage gradually decreases from inland to coastal.These research results can provide a reference basis for understanding the vegetation restoration characteristics and protecting the ecological environment in the HRB.…”

Temporal-spatial evolution and formation mechanism of energy consumption carbon footprint at county scale in the Yellow River Basin by Liyan Zhang, Mei Song, Yan Gao

“…The distribution of the high carbon footprint is consistent with that of energy-intensive areas. The carbon cycle system is significantly unbalanced, and the counties with carbon deficit spread inland. (2) The carbon footprint exhibits significant spatial dependence, and the high carbon spillover effect is significant. …”

Possible glendonite mineral pseudomorphs in the aftermath of the end-Permian extinction by Musaab Al-Sarmi, Rachel Wood

“…If these are glendonites, we infer that they could have precipitated due to the unusually elevated alkalinity and pH (> 9) oceanic conditions present in the aftermath of the end-Permian extinction associated with highly disrupted carbon cycle dynamics, possibly accompanied with the upwelling of cold, anoxic oceanic water.…”

Land conversions not climate effects are the dominant indirect consequence of sun-driven CO2 capture, conversion, and sequestration by Moritz Adam, Thomas Kleinen, Matthias M May, Kira Rehfeld

“…Drawing on a novel explicit representation of CO _2 removal in a state-of-the-art Earth system model, we find that these process chains can be renewably powered and have minimal implications for the climate and carbon cycle. However, to stabilize the planetary temperature two degrees above pre-industrial levels, CO _2 capturing, conversion, and associated energy harvest demand up to 0.46% of the global land area in a high-efficiency scenario. …”
