How do leaf functional traits influence above-ground tree carbon in tropical hill forests of Bangladesh? by Ariful Khan, Md Rezaul Karim, Mohammed A.S. Arfin-Khan, Md. Shamim Reza Saimun, Fahmida Sultana, Sharif A. Mukul

“…Plant leaf functional traits significantly influence carbon cycling in tropical forests, though the relationships between these traits and carbon stocks are complex. The present study investigates the role of leaf functional traits, i.e., specific leaf area (SLA), leaf dry matter content (LDMC), leaf width, and leaf thickness—on above-ground tree carbon (AGTC) stocks in two forest protected areas (PA) in northeast Bangladesh: Khadimnagar National Park (KNP) and Rema Kalenga Wildlife Sanctuary (RKWS). …”

Biochar Application and Mowing Independently and Interactively Influence Soil Enzyme Activity and Carbon Sequestration in Karst and Red Soils in Southern China by Wenjia Luo, Daniel F. Petticord, Shiwen Zhu, Shaowu Zhu, Yuanlong Wu, Xun Yi, Xinyue Wang, Yili Guo, Xuxin Song

“…Soil organic carbon (SOC), a critical component of the global carbon cycle, represents the largest terrestrial carbon reservoir, and is thus a major component of influencing climate regulation and ecosystem health. Grasslands store substantial carbon in their soils, but this carbon reservoir is easily degraded by both grazing and mowing, particularly in vulnerable karst landscapes. …”

Ciphertext policy hidden access control scheme based on blockchain and supporting data sharing by Ruizhong DU, Tianhe ZHANG, Pengliang SHI

“…Methods:Firstly,an efficient attribute vector and policy vector generation algorithm is proposed using vector compression technology, which judges whether user attributes satisfy the access policy through the inner product operation result of attribute vector and policy vector.Afterwards, the prime order bilinear group and attribute encryption technology were used to achieve fine-grained access control while avoiding the leakage of user attribute values; using the interstellar file system to store the ciphertext and storing the hash address of the ciphertext on the blockchain through a smart contract,it realizes distributed and reliable access control and reduces the storage overhead of the blockchain. …”
