Soil carbon loss following conversion of poplar plantations to annual cropland in Northern Italy

Carbon storage in Inga-cacao agroforestry on degraded former coca-crop soils

Former coca-crop lands in the Peruvian Amazon need restoration that rebuilds soil function and carbon pools. This study compared soil, litter and recovered-root carbon in degraded former coca-crop soil without agroforestry and Inga edulis-Theobroma cacao systems aged 2, 4 and 6 years. Three blocks provided 12 sampling...

Carbon Stocks in Two Colombian Oil Palm Agroecosystems: Variations in Age Gradients and Cultivar Type

Perennial crops such as oil palm contribute to carbon (C) storage through the accumulation of biomass and soil organic carbon (SOC). This observational, cross-sectional study was conducted at two Cenipalma experimental research stations in Colombia and evaluated variations in carbon stocks across four plantation age cl...

Soil carbon and nitrogen storage and biomass carbon reserves in silvopastoral systems of the subhumid tropics of Mexico

Aboveground carbon dynamics following plantation thinning to establish a silvopastoral system in subtropical Australia

Understanding the impact of plantation thinning for silvopastoral systems (SPS) on carbon storage is crucial for the development of grazing systems to integrate production and carbon goals. This study compared aboveground carbon (AGC) among a SPS established through thinning the Corymbia hybrid plantation in 2021, an o...

Growth performance and multiple ecosystem services of different oak plantation types in Central Italy

The afforestation of marginal agricultural land has been promoted across Europe to reduce agricultural overproduction, produce high-quality timber, and enhance ecosystem services. This study investigates the long-term development of mixed oak plantations (Quercus robur L. and Q. petraea [Matt.] Liebl.) established in 1...

Tree legume plantation strategy for bauxite-mined land recovery: 14-year aboveground carbon stock of Anadenanthera peregrina

Identifying suitable mined-land recovery strategies and native tree species capable of attaining high aboveground carbon stocks is important for climate change mitigation and meeting global restoration goals. Understanding how carbon stocks are distributed within stands can improve the design and evaluation of recovery...
