Scaling from the bottom up The bottom-up approach compiles the carbon balance by scaling up site-level observations of sinks and sources of croplands, grasslands and forests as the main land-use ...
Research into grassland ecology started at the Northeast Normal University (NENU) in the 1950s when Tingcheng Zhu, founder of NENU’s Institute of Grassland Science (IGS), surveyed the vegetation ...
Nonforest ecosystems also help mitigate climate change by absorbing carbon. Grasslands—a nonforest ecosystem—can store 150-200 tonnes per hectare of carbon under the soil. This level of carbon ...
The report, Hidden In Plain Sight, shows that the carbon-storing benefits of trees and forests are often recognized, while the value of shrublands, grasslands, deserts and riparian corridors across ...
This system, tailored to local nature, resources, and society, explores contemporary grassland living from a low-carbon livability perspective. Taking architecture as a medium, the design team ...
A five-hectare grassland in Gulunche, Purandar, has shown improved soil carbon, biodiversity, and ecological health after a year of restoration efforts. The project, supported by Suzlon Foundation ...
