Robotic Multimodal Data Acquisition for In-Field Deep Learning Estimation of Cover Crop Biomass
Accurate weed management is essential for mitigating significant crop yield losses, necessitating effective weed suppression strategies in agricultural systems. Integrating cover crops (CC) offers multiple benefits, including soil erosion reduction, weed suppression, decreased nitrogen requirements, and enhanced carbon sequestration, all of which are closely tied to the aboveground biomass (AGB) they produce. However, biomass production varies significantly due to microsite variability, making …

Illinois Lawmakers Vote to Limit Carbon Sequestration Near a Major Aquifer - Inside Climate News
A bill passed by the Illinois legislature could slow the growth of carbon sequestration proposals—and proposals, in particular, for projects located near an aquifer that is the sole source of drinking water in some communities.   If Gov. JB Pritzker signs the law, hundreds of thousands of residents in central Illinois who rely on the Mahomet […]

Ich will in diesem Jahr erneut über das Problem der sterbenden Wälder berichten. Unser Bericht bei @… klingt lapidar: der Wald ist kein CO2-Speicher mehr, sondern ein Emittent, so wie Industrie, Verkehr oder der Gebäudesektor. Doch es ist dramatisch: Ohne funktionierende Wälder werden wir die Klimaziele nie erreichen.
Ich freue mich, hier über Input von Euch oder Zusa…

Forest abandonment and poor management threaten Europe's precious carbon sink
Carbon sequestration is one of the most important functions of a forest. Over the past 20 years, European forests have failed to fulfil this role.

Climate change and depopulation confirmed as main concerns affecting mountain areas in Europe
In Europe, mountain areas account for about 36% of the total territory and are home to 16% of the population, but they are crucial for the continent as a whole. The availability of basic commodities, like water, depends on them; they play a key role in carbon sequestration, and are areas of biodiversity.
