Organic carbon in British lowland ponds: estimating sediment stocks, possible practical benefits and significant unknowns
Ponds are aquatic habitats defined by their small size. Although small they are found on every continent, they are disproportionately rich in aquatic...

Sediment distribution and organic carbon burial in a subtropical hydroelectric reservoir
Reservoir sediment is a major player in the terrestrial carbon (C) budget, and the quantification of C burial in sediments is important in assessing...
-
Degradation and Preservation of Organic Matter in Marine Sediments
Organic matter that is deposited in aquatic sediments is subject to an intense diagenetic reactor that determines how much organic carbon is...

Response of soil organic carbon to land-use change after farmland abandonment in the karst desertification control
BackgroundLand-use change caused by vegetation restoration in karst areas plays an active role in soil carbon sink. However, the response of soil...
