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

Nitrous oxide in flux
In drought conditions, forest soils can serve as a small but surprisingly persistent sink for the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide. The effect highlights a research avenue necessary for predicting Earth

That's your sink
Standing forests are the most important territorial reservoirs to CO2. Reforestry and afforestry CDM projects are the means to sequester carbon. Himachal Pradesh and Haryana are the examples. In India, both Himachal Pradesh and Haryana are in nascent stage of a reforestation and afforestation project under CDM. The projects entrust people with the task of growing and protecting

Forestry based carbon sequestration option for India
Carbon capture and sequestration through forests can play an important role in reducing India's GHG emissions, as consumption of fossil fuels is unlikely to slow down given India's reliance on coal power and other non renewable sources. Land use and forest enhancement strategy can provide a significant climate change mitigation option for India.

Forests in a changing climate : will forests role in regulating the global climate be hindered by climate change?
There has been considerable research into the critical role that forests play in regulating climate. There is also a growing body of evidence pointing to the significant negative impacts that climate change itself is likely to have on forests, especially in relation to the way that forests interact with the planet

Rules for ocean fertilization could repel companies
An international body has for the first time placed restrictions on experiments designed to fertilize large swaths of the world's oceans with a view to combating global warming.

Recycling of graphite during Himalayan erosion: A geological stabilization of carbon in the crust
At geological time scales, the role of continental erosion in the organic carbon (OC) cycle is determined by the balance between recent OC burial and petrogenic OC oxidation. Evaluating its net effect on the concentration of carbon dioxide and dioxygen in the atmosphere requires the fate of petrogenic OC to be assessed.

Biomass carbon sinks in Japanese forests: 1966-2012
The role of forests in absorbing atmospheric carbon has been recognized under the Kyoto Protocol, which allows signatory countries to use forests as a mitigation option. Although several studies have estimated carbon stock changes in Japanese forests, most only estimate changes up to 1995 or ignore carbon stock changes in natural forests.
