Summary

Carbon neutrality is crucial to inhibit anthropogenic net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, which deteriorate global climate changes and related disasters. The agricultural and forestry as well as the agroforestry ecosystems played key roles in enhancing the carbon sequestration capacity, which has been studied in the last decades. Here, we plan to organize one special issue about this topic.

The detailed topics include, but are not limited to:

Long-term (＞5 year) effect of biochar application on soil carbon and its transformation as well as other properties.
Analysis of carbon source or sink dynamics in the agroforestry ecosystems.
The contribution of undergrowth vegetation in enhancing the carbon sink of whole agroforestry ecosystems.
How to effectively improve the soil stable carbon components?
The carbon losses caused by the forest degradation, plant diseases and insect pests.
Others.

Impacts of Defoliation on Morphological Characteristics and Non-Structural Carbohydrates of Populus talassica × Populus euphratica Seedlings
Mengxu Su, Zhanjiang Han, Zhen Zhao, Xiaofeng Wu, Jiaju Wu
Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.93, No.7, pp. 1689-1703, 2024, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2024.052814

Abstract Leaves are important ‘source’ organs that synthesize organic matter, providing carbon sources for plant growth. Here, we used Populus talassica × Populus euphratica, the dominant species in ecological and timber forests, to simulate carbon limitation through artificial 25%, 50%, and 75% defoliation treatments and explore the effects on root, stem, and leaf morphology, biomass accumulation, and carbon allocation strategies. At the 60th d after treatment, under 25% defoliation treatment, the plant height, specific leaf weight, root surface area and volume, and concentrations of non-structural carbohydrates in stem and root were significantly increased by 9.13%, 20.00%, 16.60%,… More >

Correlation and Pathway Analysis of the Carbon, Nitrogen, and Phosphorus in Soil-Microorganism-Plant with Main Quality Components of Tea (Camellia sinensis)
Chun Mao, Ji He, Xuefeng Wen, Yangzhou Xiang, Jihong Feng, Yingge Shu
Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.93, No.3, pp. 487-502, 2024, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2024.048246
（This article belongs to the Special Issue: Enhancing the Carbon Sequestration Capacity of the Agricultural, Forestry, and Agroforestry Ecosystems)
Abstract The contents of carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) in soil-microorganisms-plant significantly affect tea quality by altering the main quality components of tea, such as tea polyphenols, amino acids, and caffeine. However, few studies have quantified the effects of these factors on the main quality components of tea. The study aimed to explore the interactions of C, N, and P in soil-microorganisms-plants and the effects of these factors on the main quality components of tea by using the path analysis method. The results indicated that (1) The contents of C, N, and P in… More >

Responses of Wheat Production, Quality, and Soil Profile Properties to Biochar Applied at Different Seasons in a Rice-Wheat Rotation
Lipei Chen, Rilie Deng, Xuewen Li, Min Yu, Hongdong Xiao
Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.92, No.12, pp. 3359-3370, 2023, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2023.046877

Abstract
In the rice-wheat rotation system, biochar (BC) can be applied at the initiation of the rice or wheat season. Here, we compared the effects of BC that were applied at two different crop seasons on wheat production, quality, and soil profile properties in a rice-wheat rotation system with nitrogen (N) fertilizer applied at 280 kg/ha rate. Results showed that both wheat grain production and N recovery use efficiency were influenced by BC applied at two crop seasons. Biochar application did not affect the total non-essential amino-acid, but when applied during wheat season, BC significantly (p
