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.

The concurrent decline of soil lead and children’s blood lead in New Orleans

The concurrent decline of soil lead and children’s blood lead in New Orleans Howard W. Mielke ,  Christopher R. Gonzales ,  Eric T. Powell ,  Mark A. S. Laidlaw ,  Kenneth J. Berry ,  Paul W. Mielke  Jr. , and  Sara Perl Egendorf PNAS  first published October 14, 2019  https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1906092116 Significance The inextricable link between topsoil lead (Pb) and children’s blood lead (BPb) has not been widely accepted. Pb is associated with multiple health adversities. Urban residents are at risk from exposure to legacy Pb dust in topsoil resulting from smelting, industrial discharges, leaded gasoline emissions, leaded paint, and incineration. In New Orleans, topsoil median Pb decreased in ∼15 y from 99 mg/kg to 54 mg/kg, or ∼2.4 mg⋅kg⋅y −1 . In ∼12 y, children’s median BPb declined from 3.6 μg/dL to 1.3 μg/dL, or ∼0.2 μg⋅dL⋅y −1 . We argue that depletion of topsoil Pb is an important factor in the continuous dec...

Climate warming alters subsoil but not topsoil carbon dynamics in alpine grassland

Climate warming alters subsoil but not topsoil carbon dynamics in alpine grassland Juan Jia     Zhenjiao Cao     Chengzhu Liu     Zhenhua Zhang     Li Lin     Yiyun Wang     Negar Haghipour     Lukas Wacker     Hongyan Bao     Thorston Dittmar     Myrna J. Simpson     Huan Yang     Thomas W. Crowther     Timothy I. Eglinton     Jin‐Sheng He     Xiaojuan Feng Subsoil contains more than half of soil organic carbon (SOC) globally and is conventionally assumed to be relatively unresponsive to warming compared to the topsoil. Here, we show substantial changes in carbon allocation and dynamics of the subsoil but not topsoil in the Qinghai‐Tibetan alpine grasslands over 5 years of warming. Specifically, warming enhanced the accumulation of newly synthesized ( 14 C‐enriched) carbon in ...
