Science Daily: Tropical forests adjust strategies to thrive even when soils are nutrient poor
Tropical forests store a third of the world's carbon in their wood and soils. However, their future as a carbon sink has been uncertain. Scientists have long wondered whether nutrient-poor tropical ...
Tropical forests adjust strategies to thrive even when soils are nutrient poor
A new long-term field study reveals that adding biochar to tropical soils can subtly reshape underground ecosystems, influencing insects and other tiny organisms that play vital roles in forest health ...
EurekAlert!: High-elevation tropical forest soils in Colombian Andes are rich in carbon from past fires
High-elevation tropical forest soils in Colombian Andes are rich in carbon from past fires
Tropical forest soils play a crucial role in providing vital ecosystem functions. They provide nutrients for plants, store carbon and regulate greenhouse gases, as well as storing and filtering water, ...
Tropical forests exchange more CO2 with the atmosphere than any other terrestrial biome, meaning that even a relatively small shift in the balance of carbon uptake and release there could have a big ...
Soils of rainforests: Characterization of major constraints of dominant forest soils in the humid tropics / S. Kauffman, W.G. Sombroek and S. Mantel -- The World Reference Base for Soil Resources: An ...
The soil in high-elevation, cooler, drier tropical forests in the Colombian Andes stores more carbon from fires than lower, warmer regions, new research shows. Scientists investigated the long-term ...
