Summary: This study reveals that on the Tibetan Plateau, the fixation of CO2 by plants will outpace the loss of CO2 under a wetting-warming climate due to climate warming, leading to a plant-dominated negative feedback mechanism that mitigates the impact of climate warming on the region.

Summary: This study investigated the role of a non-irrigated grassed vineyard in carbon sequestration using the eddy covariance and soil chamber techniques. The results showed that carbon released through respiration accounted for a significant portion of the carbon uptake through photosynthesis, and the vineyard soil was not a major source of carbon emissions. Temperature and vapor pressure deficit were found to be important factors affecting carbon sequestration and emissions.

Summary: The study revealed the annual net ecosystem carbon exchange (NEE) in the Arctic regions from 2002 to 2017, showing that forest, shrub, grassland, wetland, and tundra have varying levels of CO2 exchange. Grassland emissions decreased, while shrub and forest assimilation increased, and wetland and tundra shifted from carbon sources to sinks. Seasonal variations in NEE temperature sensitivities(Q(10)) were observed, with higher values in winter and lower values in summer, suggesting that the Arctic terrestrial ecosystem acts as a carbon sink currently, but future warming could potentially reduce this carbon sink capacity.

Summary: Mountain wines produced in specific areas have gained popularity, but the environmental impacts of their production have been scarcely studied. A mountain winery in north Spain was analyzed using life cycle assessment, with the main environmental hotspots identified as fertilizer use in grape cultivation and glass bottle production in wine making. Further research and alternative scenarios are needed to reduce the environmental impacts associated with manufacturing this type of wine.

Summary: This study assessed and compared the carbon footprint of soybean production in Paraná State, Brazil, during the 2020/21 super harvest and the 2021/22 rainfall scarcity caused by climate change. The results showed that the carbon footprint of the 2021/22 harvest was 267% greater than that of the 2020/21 harvest, while the 2020/21 production was 86% greater than that of 2021/22. The reduction in productivity observed in the 2021/22 soybean crop had significant long-term impacts on climate and ecosystems, highlighting the importance of climate change on soybean production and global food security.

Summary: The study investigated whether planting more diverse species in grazed grasslands can reduce N2O emissions and benefit greenhouse gas reduction. The results showed that the annual N2O emissions from the mixed pasture were lower than those from the ryegrass-white clover pasture. Additionally, the ryegrass-white clover pasture had a significant advantage in net greenhouse gas balance compared to the mixed pasture.

Summary: Ecologically vulnerable areas (EVAs) in China are highly sensitive to climate change and human activities. The ecosystem carbon use efficiency (CUEe) is an important ecological indicator that reflects the ability of carbon transfer from the atmosphere to ecosystems. This study synthesized 55 field measurements and found that the CUEe in EVAs in China is influenced by climate, soil, and biotic factors.

Summary: Cities play a crucial role in climate change mitigation, but there has been a lack of methodology to quantify the actual emission reduction potential of climate interventions implemented by cities. This study aims to create a framework to assess the positive climate impacts of cities and regions, and presents step-by-step guidance for calculations. A case study of the Finnish city of Espoo is used to further develop and test the regional handprint approach. The research finds that a city's carbon handprint can be determined through ownership, operating environment, and projects. The regional carbon handprint approach provides a useful tool to quantify and communicate the innovative climate actions implemented by a city.

Summary: This study simulated forest growth to investigate the effects of species mixing and different thinning regimes on oak-pine forests. Results showed that thinning from above could lead to the highest long-term productivity in mixed oak-pine stands, although the impact of thinning intensity varied among different growth simulators. Further research is needed to address limitations in current growth models in order to improve simulation accuracy.

Summary: Vegetation plays a crucial role in regulating land-atmosphere, water, and energy exchanges. However, existing land-surface models often assume that photosynthetic responses to the environment can be equated with fast responses observed in laboratory settings, neglecting the acclimation process. In this study, a new approach is proposed by adopting the P model to explicitly separate the fast and slow photosynthetic responses and predict the acclimation of photosynthetic parameters on a weekly to monthly timescale. The results show that the new model can accurately simulate gross primary production and outperform the operational LSM in climate models, offering potential applications in weather, climate, and carbon-cycle modeling.

Summary: Translation: Soil organic carbon (SOC) plays a crucial role in the global carbon cycle and climate. This study investigates the factors influencing SOC dynamics in different land use changes (LUCs) in Italy and their relevance in terms of climate change mitigation. The results show that LUCs and soil management practices significantly influence SOC dynamics and storage, with variations among different LUCs. Furthermore, SOC dynamics are negatively correlated with mean annual temperature (MAT) and positively correlated with mean annual precipitation (MAP), except for forest land. The findings suggest that LUCs and soil management practices, along with climate variables, are important factors in SOC storage and its potential to mitigate climate change.

Summary: Although rice cultivation is a significant source of methane emissions, there are large discrepancies in the estimated global emissions due to a lack of observational data. This study used machine learning and remote sensing data to estimate high-resolution methane emissions from paddy rice in Monsoon Asia and found a declining trend in emissions in recent years.

Summary: Methane emissions from natural landscapes account for roughly half of global methane contributions to the atmosphere, but uncertainties still remain in the absolute magnitude and seasonality of these emissions. The FLUXNET-CH4 Version 1.0 dataset provides crucial information on methane emissions from various ecosystems globally, with a focus on freshwater wetlands. The seasonal variability and predictors of methane fluxes in freshwater wetlands are evaluated, highlighting the importance of temperature and vegetation parameters in understanding methane emissions.
