  • Study reveals an integrated pyrolysis and electricity generation system can help staple food production achieve carbon neutrality

    Agricultural food production is a main driver of global greenhouse gas emissions, with unclear pathways towards carbon neutrality.   Fig. The IPEG–CH4–N system can help staple food production achieve carbon neutrality Staple food production is an important source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, due to high methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from flooded paddy fields and intensive use of nitrogen fertili...

  • Soil biodiversity supports the delivery of multiple ecosystem functions in urban greenspaces

    While the contribution of biodiversity to supporting multiple ecosystem functions is well established in natural ecosystems, the relationship of the above- and below-ground diversity with ecosystem multifunctionality remains virtually unknown in urban greenspaces.
