Trash to Treasure? Increased Soil Phosphorus in Farmed Urban Soils
A survey of farmed soil from Kumasi, Ghana into the surrounding countryside reveals that long-term history of farming and proximity to the city leads to higher soil phosphorous availability.
Preserving Soil Carbon by Preserving the Forest Floor
A 20-year study of British Columbia forests examines how soil carbon is affected by logging.
In Alaska, Wildfires Help Prevent Future Burns. Will That Feedback Loop Hold?
Without the suppressive effects of younger vegetation, Alaskan fire activity would be 5 times higher.
Volatile Organic Compounds Have Been Underestimated in the Carbon Cycle
Better tracking of these reactive compounds is essential for understanding how the atmosphere and terrestrial biosphere interact.
AGU Launches New Special Collection at the Nexus of Science and Policy
Seven AGU journals are encouraging submissions of policy-related commentaries and research articles, boosting scientists’ voices to decision-makers.
Behind the Veil of Journal Editing
Training tomorrow’s editors today strengthens peer review, builds editorial capacity, and helps safeguard the integrity of scientific publishing.
It Takes Three to Model Methane Right
By combining conventional process-based and atmospheric inversion modeling with machine learning, scientists home in on a more realistic methane model.
The Under-the-Radar Creeks That Are Sweeping Carbon Out of Salt Marshes
Transport via tidal creeks is a “major and often underrecognized” pathway of carbon in the coastal wetlands, and a gap in most blue carbon assessments, new research reports.
A Satellite-Based Global Carbon Flux Product is Sensitive to Droughts
A parsimonious ecosystem model constrained by data from NASA’s Soil Moisture Active and Passive mission generates a global daily carbon flux product that is highly sensitive to drought and pluvial events.
