A chlorophyll-deficient, highly reflective soybean mutant: Radiative forcing and yield gaps
Sunlight absorbed at the Earth’s surface is re-emitted as longwave radiation. Increasing atmospheric concentrations of CO 2 and other greenhouse gases trap an increasing fraction of such heat, leading to global climate change. Here we show that when a chlorophyll (Chl)-deficient soybean mutant is grown in the field, the fraction of solar-irradiance which is reflected, rather than absorbed, is consistently higher than in commercial varieties. But,…
A Novel Computational Model of the Wheat Global Market with an Application to the 2010 Russian Federation Case
In this paper, we build a computational model for the analysis of international wheat spot price formation, its dynamics and the dynamics of quantities traded internationally. The model has been calibrated using FAOSTAT data to evaluate its in-sample predictive power. The model is able to generate wheat prices in twelve international markets and traded wheat quantities in twenty-four world regions. The time span considered is from to . In our stu…
Solar dimming above temperate forests and its impact on local climate
Vegetation has a substantial impact on the local climate. Land cover changes through afforestation or deforestation can amplify or mitigate climate warming by changes in biophysical and biogeochemical mechanisms. In the montane to subalpine area of the Eastern Alps in Europe, where forests have constantly expanded in the last four decades, data of meteorological stations show a consistent reduction in incoming global radiation for the period 2000…
Negative elevation-dependent warming trend in the Eastern Alps
Mountain regions and the important ecosystem services they provide are considered to be very vulnerable to the current warming, and recent studies suggest that high-mountain environments experience more rapid changes in temperature than environments at lower elevations. Here we analysed weather records for the period 1975-2010 from the Eastern Italian Alps that show that warming occurred both at high and low elevations, but it was less pronounced…
Mimicking biochar-albedo feedback in complex Mediterranean agricultural landscapes
Incorporation of charcoal produced by biomass pyrolysis (biochar) in agricultural soils is a potentially sustainable strategy for climate change mitigation. However, some side effects of large-scale biochar application need to be investigated. In particular a massive use of a low-reflecting material on large cropland areas may impact the climate via changes in surface albedo. Twelve years of MODIS-derived albedo data were analysed for three pairs…
Surface albedo following biochar application in durum wheat
The agronomic use of charcoal from biomass pyrolysis (biochar) represents an interesting \noption for increasing soil fertility and sequestering atmospheric CO2. However, before moving toward large-scale biochar applications, additional research must evaluate all possible land–atmosphere feedbacks. Despite the increasing number of studies investigating the effect of biochar on soil physical, chemical and biological properties, only a few have bee…
Climate control of terrestrial carbon exchange across biomes and continents
Understanding the relationships between climate and carbon exchange by terrestrial ecosystems \nis critical to predict future levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide because of the potential \naccelerating effects of positive climate–carbon cycle feedbacks. However, directly observed \nrelationships between climate and terrestrial CO2 exchange with the atmosphere across biomes \nand continents are lacking. Here we present data describing the relatio…
