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...

Substantial N2O emissions from peat decomposition and N fertilization in an oil palm plantation exacerbated by hotspots
Las actividades agropecuarias se han asociado con el incremento de óxido nitroso hacia la atmósfera, ya que las prácticas de manejo (Fertilización y mecanización) contribuyen con la dinámica del nitrógeno, incrementando la emisión de este en forma de óxido de nitrógeno (N2O) y limitando el almace...

This chapter discusses the impacts of climate change on agriculture and the role of adaptation. Specifically, the chapter explores the following impacts of climate change on agriculture: increased CO2 concentrations, water availability, and pests and diseases. The chapter also includes reports of...

Perennial horticultural crop production is sensitive to temperature, water availability, solar radiation, air pollution, and CO2. The value of perennial horticultural crops is derived from not only the quantity but also the quality of the harvested product. Perennial crop production is not easily...

Organic soils are defined in Chapter 3 Annex 3A.5 of Volume 4 of the 2006 IPCC Guidelines and Section 5, Chapter 1, section 5 of this Wetlands Supplement. The guidance in this Chapter applies to all inland organic soils
that have been drained, i.e., drainage of lands that started in the past and...

Agricultural soils, having been depleted of much of their native carbon stocks, have a significant CO2 sink capacity. Global estimates of this sink capacity are in the order of 20-30 Pg C over the next 50-100 years .Management practices to build up soil C must increase the input of organic matter...

Mathematical proofs show that rate estimates, for example of mortality and recruitment, will decrease with increasing census interval when obtained from censuses of non-homogeneous populations. This census interval effect could be confounding or perhaps even driving conclusions from comparative s...

Fires are considered a potential threat to sustainable development for their direct impacts on ecosystems, their contribution to carbon emissions, and impacts on biodiversity. In 1997/98, Indonesia had the most severe fires worldwide, and smoke haze pollution recurs yearly. The fire-related polic...
