Sentences with phrase «carbon input»

Ultimately, the tool could help increase yields while increasing carbon input to the soil.

We feed ourselves with huge fossil carbon inputs in addition to fresh plant carbon, minerals and soil.

My most recent endeavours include: biological oceanographic studies of the central Canadian Arctic, Canadian Beaufort Sea (investigating phytoplankton bloom dynamics, sea ice bio-optics and ice algal productivity, photophysiology and taxonomy) and Hudson Bay (investigating freshwater and dissolved organic carbon input and export), and biophysical modeling of the ice algae ecosystem.

Analyzing the responses of the GVMs in terms of the responses of carbon inputs (i.e., NPP) and outputs (i.e., 1 / residence time) to climate and CO2 helps to identify sources of model differences.

Changes in SOC of different organic and conventional farming systems were compared in a long - term experiment and related to estimated carbon inputs.

Instead, it amplifies carbon inputs into the atmosphere when the continents are subsequently perturbed by volcanism.»

ref Specifically, reducing land - based sources of pollution (nutrient runoff and sedimentation) has been identified as an important approach to address acidification in coastal waters because nutrients like phosphorus and nitrogen and land - based carbon inputs can increase the acidity of coastal and oceanic waters.

These practices might include manipulating carbon inputs, using crop rotation sequences that increase the presence of beneficial organisms, or inoculating the soil with disease - suppressive microorganisms.

Encouraging the fungal community and increasing carbon inputs from roots by minimizing tillage and planting perennial crops enhances soil structure and increases carbon storage times.

Related Long - term legacy of massive carbon input to the Earthsystem: Anthropocene versus Eocene

The major carbon producers data can be applied to climate models to derive the carbon input's effect on climate change impacts including global average temperature, sea level rise, and extreme events such as heat waves.

So you take these data records and you try to model them, and you see immediately that if you run the carbon cycle and climate models there are serious problems if you assume the release was extremely fast [eg 13 years], because there's a big delay between the carbon input signal and the climate response.

The Kirtland Turner & Ridgwell method has found an empirical relationship between the average ocean carbon isotope excursion, the atmospheric CO2 level, and the duration of the carbon input that generated the climate change.

Sixteen years ago, the first global review of reservoir GHG emissions highlighted the potential significance of reservoir surfaces as GHG sources and postulated that factors such as age, water temperature, and organic carbon inputs could regulate fluxes (St. Louis et al. 2000).

Wave erosion and high summer air temperatures promote rapid shoreline retreat, in some cases contributing a significant proportion of regional sediment and organic carbon inputs to the marine environment (Aré, 1999; Rachold et al., 2000).

But it's just as important for cities to adapt to climate change — even if the human race were to cut emissions entirely, we would still be facing the extreme effects of climate change for decades to come, because of the increased carbon input that has already taken place since the industrial revolution.
