Title : 
Summer drought reduces total and litter-derived soil CO2 effluxes in
temperate grassland – clues from a 13C litter addition experiment

Journal : Biogeosciences

Comment : 

 Drought significantly decreased Rs in litter addition experiment by 59% and litter-derived CO2 efflux by 81% during the drought period itself (May to July, indicating that drought had a stronger effect on the CO2 release from litter than on the below ground-derived CO2 efflux (soil organic matter (SOM) and root respiration).

 Despite large bursts in respired CO2 induced by the rewetting after prolonged drought, drought also reduced Rs and litter-derived CO2 efflux during the entire 13C measurement period (April to October) by 26% and 37%, respectively. Overall, there result show that drought decreased Rs and altered its seasonality and its sources. 

 Thus, the C balance of temperate grassland soils respond sensitively to changes in precipitation, a factor that needs to be considered in regional models predicting the impact of climate change on ecosystems C balance.

Author  :   Ailian Chena, X. Angela Yao, Ranhao Sun, Liding Chen Year  :  2014 Title  :  Effect of urban green patterns on surface urban cool islands and its  seasonal variations Journal  :  Urban Forestry & Urban Greening Comment   :  The urban cool islands ( UCI) was represented by the minimum LST of each urban green patch. Results showed spatial patterns  of urban green patches had significant effects on their UCIs in four seasons.  In detail, the size, edge and  connectivity of urban green spaces all affected the UCIs negatively, and the influence was stronger in  warm  seasons.  Shape of urban green space also had effects on UCIs, but the effects were stronger in cool  seasons. Great differences were found between predictive values of metrics for different green types.  Shape metrics were more important for indicating UCIs of River, Trees and Crops than were patch size...

Author  :   M. Rial, A. Martínez Cortizas, L. Rodríguez-Lado Year  :  2017 Title  :  Understanding the spatial distribution of factors controlling topsoil organic carbon content in European soils Journal  :  Science of the Total Environment Comment   :  They present a modelling procedure for mapping and monitoring SOC contents  that uses Visible-Near Infrared (VNIR) spectroscopic measurements and a series of environmental  covariates to ascertain the key environmental processes that have a major contribution into SOC sequestration  processes.  Their results show that it follows a geographically non-stationary process in which the influencing environmental  factors have different weights depending on the spatial location.  This implies that SOC stock modelling  should not rely on a single model but on a combination of different statistical models depending on the  environment...

Author  : Edmondson, J. L. Davies, Z. G. McHugh, N. Gaston, K. J. Leake, J. R. Year  : 2012 Title  : Organic carbon hidden in urban ecosystems Journal  : Scientific Reports Comment   : To date, the total quantity of OC stored in urban soils (under both impervious surfaces and greenspaces), together with that in above-ground vegetation, has never been systematically measured.  They report the first city-wide organic carbon (OC) budget for vegetation and soils, including under impervious surfaces. The majority of OC (82%) was held in soils, with 13% found under impervious surfaces, and 18% stored in vegetation.
