Shahbaz, M., Alherbawi, M., Okonkwo, E. C., & Al-Ansari, T. (2024). Evaluating Net Zero Emission Technologies in a Circular Carbon Economy: A Holistic Evaluation of Direct Air Capture, Bioenergy Carbon Capture and Storage and Biochar.Ā Journal of Cleaner Production, 142800.Synopsis: This study evaluates DAC, BECCS, and Biochar production for their capacity to mitigate CO2. BECCS offers the highest net energy gain (18.08 GJ/tonne CO2), while Biochar consumes less water (2.3 mĀ³/tonne CO2) and generates significant sales ($756 million). DAC has high energy (11.95 GJ/tonne CO2) and water demands. The optimal solution, integrating 53% Biochar and 47% BECCS, maximizes energy efficiency, minimizes water use, and balances economic benefits.
Zhang, L., Yingxin, W. U., Zhang, J., Palansooriya, K. N., Chao, L. I. U., SHABIR, R., ... & Chang, S. X. (2024). Biochar addition affects soil carbon stock by altering keystone fungal species and necromass abundance and oxidase activities in forest and paddy soils.Ā Pedosphere.Synopsis: Fungi are vital for soil organic carbon (SOC) utilization and storage. This study explores how biochar affects fungal communities, abundance, enzyme secretion, and necromass in forest and paddy soils from southern China. Using a mesocosm experiment, low-temperature biochar (BL, 300Ā°C) increased SOC retention and fungal abundance in forest soil, while high-temperature biochar (BH, 700Ā°C) had opposite effects in paddy soil. Biochar influenced fungal necromass, oxidase activity, and SOC turnover, with BL enhancing fungal efficiency and decreasing enzyme activity, thereby reducing SOC degradation in forest soil. Conversely, BH increased Fusarium and enzyme activities, promoting SOC degradation in paddy soil.
Meyjes, S. A., Petrik, C. M., Rohr, T. W., Cael, B. B., & Mashayek, A. (2024). Impact of spatial variability in zooplankton grazing rates on carbon export flux.Ā Authorea Preprints.Synopsis: The biological carbon pump regulates oceanic carbon storage, influenced by zooplankton and their prey. This study uses remote sensing to derive zooplankton grazing dynamics, revealing significant spatial variation in the half-saturation constant (k) globally. High k values, indicating slower grazing, correlate with high productivity areas. Spatially varying k values enhance model accuracy for phytoplankton biomass and reduce mean total carbon export by over 17%. This underscores the critical role of grazing dynamics in carbon export and marine carbon sequestration modeling under future climate scenarios.

Glacial troughs as centres of organic carbon accumulation on the Norwegian continental margin.Ā Communications Earth & Environment,Ā 5(1), 1-13.Synopsis: Continental margin sediments play a crucial but understudied role in the carbon cycle. Using machine learning, this study quantified organic carbon stocks and accumulation rates on the Norwegian continental margin. Surface sediments store 814 Tg and accumulate 6 Tg/yr of organic carbon, with glacial troughs contributing significantly. These sediments accumulate carbon at larger scales than vegetated coastal ecosystems due to their extent. Future research should investigate how management interventions could boost accumulation rates by reducing anthropogenic seafloor disturbances.

Carbon sequestration in different urban vegetation types in Southern Finland.Ā EGUsphere, 1-38.Synopsis: Cities aim for carbon neutrality, focusing on urban vegetation's carbon sinks. This study evaluates three modelsāJSBACH, LPJ-GUESS, and SUEWSāfor estimating carbon sequestration in various urban vegetation types in Helsinki, Finland. The models simulated seasonal and annual variations well but struggled with absolute flux validation due to observational constraints. Irrigation improved carbon sequestration, and tree-covered areas sequestered more carbon annually than lawns. All models showed similar mean net ecosystem exchange annually, with notable year-to-year differences. The research highlights the need to incorporate diverse vegetation and irrigation impacts into urban carbon models for better urban planning and climate mitigation.
Han, L., Liu, B., Luo, Y., Chen, L., Ma, C., Xu, C., ... & Xing, B. (2024). Quantifying the negative effects of dissolved organic carbon of maize straw-derived biochar on its carbon sequestration potential in a paddy soil.Ā Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 109500.Synopsis: Biochar from low-medium temperatures contains dissolved organic carbon (BDOC) affecting soil carbon dynamics. This study used maize straw-derived biochar at 300/450Ā°C, BDOC-extracted biochar residues, and Ī“13C analysis to measure impacts on paddy soil. BDOC, rich in lipid, protein, and carbohydrate-like species, enhanced soil organic carbon mineralization by 15-20%. Removing BDOC from 300Ā°C biochar changed its priming effect from positive to negative, and for 450Ā°C biochar, the negative priming increased by 31%, while biochar mineralization decreased by 41-65%. BDOC extraction also reduced soil macro-aggregates by 16-25% and increased soil organic carbon's sorption by biochar by 68-122%. This suggests BDOC extraction can improve biochar's carbon sequestration potential.
