Climate impacts in northern forests
Northern forests hold around 54% of the world’s total terrestrial carbon stock and contribute more than one-third to our global terrestrial carbon sink. This report reviews the impact of human induced

Biochar in agriculture prospects and related implications
Sequestration of atmospheric carbon to the soil is a challenging task for the scientific community to mitigate the rising concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). Biochar, due to its aromatic structure and long mean residence time in the soil (more than 100 years) has the potential for long-term carbon sequestration in the soil.

Regional US carbon sinks from three-dimensional atmospheric CO2 sampling
Studies diverge substantially on the actual magnitude of the North American carbon budget. This is due to the lack of appropriate data and also stems from the difficulty to properly model all the details of the flux distribution and transport inside the region of interest.

Tanzania Project First To Earn VCS Forest Credits
A Tanzanian reforestation project has become the first forestry investment to be issued carbon offsets under an industry-backed standard that assures investors the emission reductions are credible and long-term. The Voluntary Carbon Standard said on Thursday the first batch of credits had been issued this week and placed in the VCS registry. London-based The CarbonNeutral Company, which help

Amazon drought raises research doubts
A once-in-a-century drought struck much of the Amazon rainforest in 2005, reducing rainfall by 60–75% in some areas — and giving scientists a window on to a future coloured by climate change. The drought
