Development of a Rapid Analysis Method for Soil Carbon, Nitrogen and Organic Matter for South African Forestry Soils

Development of a Rapid Analysis Method for Soil Carbon, Nitrogen and Organic Matter for South African Forestry Soils “With the advent of carbon accounting, there is a higher demand for soil organic matter analysis, however, the number of samples required for monitoring and the cost of current analysis makes this activity prohibitively expensive.” The state […]

Biological control protects carbon sequestration capacity of plantation forests

Biological control protects carbon sequestration capacity of plantation forests Abstract In many natural and managed forest and tree systems, pest attacks and related dieback events have become a matter of increasing global concern. Although these attacks modify the carbon balance of tree systems, their contribution to climate forcing and the relative impact of nature-based mitigation […]

Pre-commercial thinning in small-scale forestry: Operational cost and carbon footprint

Pre-commercial thinning in small-scale forestry: Operational cost and carbon footprint ABSTRACT Small-scale forest operations are often limited to fewer options while selecting timberharvesting equipment compared with their large-scale industrial counterparts. Lower quantity of wood harvested can be a major financial constraint that reduces the opportunity for employing various types of equipment. In such circumstances, moderate […]

Improving wood products could be a key to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, researchers suggest

Improving wood products could be a key to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, researchers suggest Harnessing the ability of wood products to store carbon even after harvest could have a significant effect on greenhouse gas emissions and change commonly accepted forestry practices, a new study from NC State researchers suggests. A new study published in the […]

Liquefied gas to be replaced with biogas at Ponsse’s factory

Liquefied gas to be replaced with biogas at Ponsse’s factory Ponsse seeks to achieve carbon neutrality at its factory in Vieremä by 2025. Considering this goal, the most significant part of emissions comes from the use of liquefied petroleum gas as a fuel in the surface treatment process in production. Liquefied gas will be replaced […]

NCT’s Carbon Footprint

NCT’s Carbon Footprint Addressing carbon emissions is not just a moral requirement but a business necessity. South Africa ranks among the top 20 countries globally in terms of carbon dioxide emissions. The logistics sector is one of the biggest contributors to South Africa’s total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The transport sector in particular accounts for […]

Research into carbon negative attributes of mushroom-forestry system

Research into carbon negative attributes of mushroom-forestry system Scientists at the University of Stirling are hoping to develop a new carbon negative food source in a trial involving trees and mushrooms. Previous research by experts at the University of Stirling found planting fungi with trees to create protein-rich mushrooms can sequester up to 12.8 tonnes of carbon […]
