They include - but are not limited to - crop agriculture, carbon sequestration, biofuel production, collection and sale of natural products and wildlife tourism.
Gas hydrates may play an important role in global climate change, carbon sequestration, energy production and seafloor stability.
Managing for multiple ecosystem services: are there tradeoffs between carbon sequestration, plant production and plant diversity in grasslands amended with compost?
In this paper we simulated the ecosystem services function under two scenarios, including carbon sequestration, agricultural production, water and soil conservation, and analyzed the tradeoffs among these ecosystem services in Guanzhong-Tianshui region from 2000 to 2050.
The latest advances in bioregenerative strategies for long-term life support in extraterrestrial outposts such as on Mars have indicated soil-based cropping as an effective approach for waste decomposition, carbon sequestration, oxygen production, and water biofiltration as compared to hydroponics and aeroponics cropping.
A critical need exists to develop ecologically sustainable forest management approaches that incorporate climate change adaptation to sustain carbon sequestration, fiber production, and other ecological goods and services provided by managed forests (Millar et al. 2007; Alexander and Perschel 2009).
Soil, as the component of urban green spaces (UGS) (Setälä et al. [2013]), plays a pivotal role in maintaining urban ecosystem services, such as biodiversity maintenance, water resources protection, microclimate regulation, carbon sequestration, food production, and fulfillment of cultural or recreational needs (Lovell and Taylor [2013]; Neil et al. [2014]; Wu [2014]).
Oaks provide raw material for different uses but also afford important environmental services (carbon sequestration, energy production, water cycle etc).
In our study, we found that both unfractionated heparin and enoxaparin reduced the high-tidal-volume-induced lung injury, neutrophil sequestration, and production of PAI-1.
Due to its independence from petroleum as a raw material, environmental benefit and CO2 sequestration, biological production of succinic acid from renewable resources has attracted significant interest over the recent years [ 5, 6].
