Researchers at the University of Florence warn that tree plantations and forest restoration alone cannot mitigate climate change effectively. According to a study, ecological limitations and trade-offs must be considered when implementing these nature-based solutions. The researchers acknowledge that forests can absorb some carbon dioxide, but the process is constrained

Thailand's carbon market is seeing significant growth, with the "Thailand Voluntary Emission Reduction Program" (T-VER) project having cumulatively traded 3,598,457 tons of CO2 equivalent, valued at 322,614,985 baht, as of February 17, 2025. Carbon credits from forestry projects are also gaining popularity,

Investigations by Guru Ghasidas Vishwavidyalaya researchers have shed new light on the impact of human activities on global warming. According to their study, over the past 250 years, anthropogenic activities have increased atmospheric carbon dioxide levels by nearly 40%. This surge is primarily attributed to fossil fuel combustion and deforestation,
Global warming
Achieving net zero emissions by 2050 requires the development of cost-effective and CO2-efficient direct air capture (DAC) technology to remove atmospheric CO2. A recent study conducted by researchers from the University of Nottingham presents a comprehensive assessment of five solid sorbents under different technology scenarios to determine the design, operations,

New research has shown that conservation practices, such as cover crops, can significantly limit the effects of agricultural activities on greenhouse gases (GHGs) while increasing carbon and nitrogen storage. In a study conducted by the University of Arkansas, researchers assessed the effects of cover crops on GHG emissions and global
Global warming
Researchers at Northwest A&F University conducted a two-season field experiment on rainfed summer maize on the Loess Plateau of China to investigate the effects of mulching cultivation patterns on grain yield, resource use efficiency, and greenhouse gas emissions. The study, funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of

A new study has shed light on the benefits and trade-offs of cover crop cultivation in organic rice systems. Researchers from the University of Torino have found that certain cover crop species and management practices can improve nutrient inputs and efficiency, limit weeds, and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions during paddy
Global warming
A recent study conducted by researchers at Knowledge University has revealed that the agricultural sector has one of the largest carbon footprints among all industries, primarily due to the extensive use of fossil fuels, chemical fertilizers, and pesticides. The study highlights the need to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and promotes
Global warming
Conservation of tropical mountain forests is crucial to mitigate socio-economic impacts and protect ecosystem services. However, providing reliable data for informed decision-making remains a significant challenge. A recent study conducted by researchers at the Technical University Munich aimed to address this gap by translating optimized land-use scenarios into spatially explicit

Research conducted in a Nebraska tallgrass prairie site has revealed the positive impact of grassland restoration practices on biodiversity, productivity, and surface-atmosphere feedbacks. The study, funded by various institutions, including NASA Nebraska Space Grant Consortium and the National Science Foundation, aimed to evaluate the effects of different management strategies on
Global warming
Research conducted by scientists from Zhengzhou University reveals significant changes in vegetation dynamics in the semi-arid region of the Wei River Basin, western China. A first-difference multiple regression model was used to analyze the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) data from 1998 to 2023. The study found that the growing
