Carbon flux variation and associated biomass energy storage economic value implications in the Dinghushan Biosphere Reserve

Carbon as possible while keeping with its economic growth targets .The Dinghushan Forest Ecosystem Research Station , South China Botanical Garden , Chinese Academy of Sciences , Guangzhou , conducted a 3 - year study at the.This diagram shows the subtropical forests and the Dinghushan Biosphere Reserve as our main study site .
　　In September 2020, China’s president, Xi Jinping, announced the nation’s CO2 emissions would peak before 2030 and carbon neutrality would be achieved by 2060, in what has been termed a “double carbon policy.” In order to achieve this ambitious goal, China will have to use all the resources at its disposal to reduce and sequester as much...

Fig. 2 Structure of emergy-based inputs, emissions, and biotic impacts of the four telecoupling scenarios.

Because ammonia is a renewable energy medium appropriate for distant trading , many countries/regions and companies have already formulated ambitious strategies in developing green ammonia for energy transitions .An life cycle assessment and emergy evaluation ( LCA-EME ) method was brought up , and applied to quantify the resource depletion , pr... Because ammonia is a renewable energy medium appropriate for distant trading, many countries/regions and companies have already formulated ambitious strategies in developing green ammonia for energy transitions. However, the associated social, economic and environmental impacts of such energy transitions are still a mystery, due to the lack of i...

Nitrogen budgets of a lower subtropical forest as affected by 6 years of over-canopy and understory nitrogen additions

Although tropical and subtropical regions have replaced temperate regions as the global-change hotspots for increased atmosphere nitrogen ( N ) deposition , whether the regional forests reach N saturation is still unclear .The research group of Vegetation and Landscape Ecology from South China Botanical Garden conducted a field experiment to qua... Although tropical and subtropical regions have replaced temperate regions as the global-change hotspots for increased atmosphere nitrogen (N) deposition, whether the regional forests reach N saturation is still unclear. Understory or floor N addition has been commonly used in N-deposition studies, but the results of such studies have recently be...

Long-term nitrogen deposition alters the dissolved organic matter composition in tropical forest soils

To its mobility and biological instability .Based on a long-term simulative N deposition experiment in a primary tropical forest in south China , Prof . Xiankai Lu ’ group at South China Botanical Garden , explored the quantity , optical properties , and molecular-level.DOM composition in a way to benefit soil OC storage in the primary tropical... Dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays a key role in forest carbon biogeochemistry by linking soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration and water fluxes, which is further shaped by elevated atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition. Although enhanced SOC sequestration was evidenced in tropical forests due to rising N deposition, it remains unclear how lon...

Physiological traits and response strategies of four subtropical tree species exposed to drought

World-wide , forests are experiencing drought-induced mortality .Mortality patterns and alter community structure .In this study , saplings of four common tree species ( Ormosia pinnata , Dalbergia odorifera , Castanopsis fissa and Michelia macclurei ).Progressive drought stress .Representation of plot ( a ) and randomized biock design for plots... World-wide, forests are experiencing drought-induced mortality. However, physiological adaptation to drought is highly variable, which may lead to differential mortality patterns and alter community structure. In this study, saplings of four common tree species (Ormosia pinnata, Dalbergia odorifera, Castanopsis fissa and Michelia macclurei) grow...
