It is unclear to what extent emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O) from drained histosols in the tropics may contribute to the atmospheric burden of greenhouse gases. In particular, there is a critical need to elucidate their magnitude in oil palm plantations on these soils. We examined spatio-tempora...

CIAT Soil Carbon Sequestration Research by Rolf Sommer, CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and Ecosystems.
Presentation made at Soil Carbon Sequestration: Supporting NDCs and donor action. A CGIAR-wide workshop held 12 Nov 2017 at ZEF Center for Development Research, University of Bonn. Works...
This study aims to explain effects of soil textural class, topography, land use, and land use history on soil greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes in the Lake Victoria region. We measured GHG fluxes from intact soil cores collected in Rakai, Uganda, an area characterized by low‐input smallholder (<2 ha) f...

We studied the biochemical and biophysical processes of carbon sequestration in an intensive agroforestry system on two soils (Feralsol – Luero; Arenosol – Teso) in W. Kenya to elucidate the mechanisms associated with long-term carbon storage. Specifically, we looked at a top-down model (macro-ag...

We test the applicability of two different methods for quantifying carbon (C) stocks in five tropical peat sites in Sumatra, Indonesia; two in an intact peat swamp forest, one in a logged forest and two in an oil palm plantation. Elemental analysis is used to quantify C contents and stocks in all...

Increasing demand for food and fibre by the growing human population is driving significant land use (LU) change from forest into intensively managed land systems in tropical areas. But empirical evidence on the extent to which such changes affect the soil-atmosphere exchange of trace gases is st...

Land degradation is a complex phenomenon caused by natural and anthropogenic factors. These factors create and accelerate soil erosion and contribute to the loss of biodiversity and degradation of soil quality and hydrological features. Adoption of a gamut of appropriate soil and water conservati...
