TL;DR: To improve the prediction of climate models, it is important to understand the mechanisms by which microorganisms regulate terrestrial greenhouse gas flux, which involves consideration of the complex interactions that occur between microorganisms and other biotic and abiotic factors.

TL;DR: The authors discusses current knowledge regarding agriculture as a source for nitrous oxide, a major greenhouse gas, and offers an outlook on future developments about the consequences of increasing use of biofuels and the potential importance of aquaculture, as well as options for mitigation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that nitrogen-induced increases in the strength of land and ocean sinks are unlikely to keep pace with future increases in carbon dioxide, thus nitrogen induced increases in land-and ocean-sink strength are not enough to compensate for future carbon dioxide increases.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review current research on how avoided forest degradation may affect emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) and expected co-benefits in terms of biodiversity and livelihoods.

TL;DR: In this paper, a one-year field study was conducted on a sandy loam soil under annual ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) grown for silage in Petaluma, California.
