Litter decomposition is a vital part of the global carbon cycle as it determines not only the amount of carbon to be sequestered, but also how fast carbon re-enters the cycle. Freshwater systems play an active role in the carbon cycle as it receives, and decomposes, terrestrial litter material alongside decomposing aquatic plant litter. Decomposition of organic matter in the aquatic environment is directly controlled by water temperature and nutrient availability, which are continuously affected by global change.

Recent advances in heterogeneous catalysts for the effective electroreduction of carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide Eren, Enis Oğuzhan; Özkar, Saim (2021-09-15) The electrochemical conversion of carbon dioxide into low carbon fuels is a very convenient way of reducing the concentration of atmospheric CO2, which is the main cause of global warming. CO is known to be the most common and profitable product of CO2 reduction due to its low energy requirement and reaction simplicity. However, the viability of the process still depends on affordable and efficient catalysts. In this review, an overview is provided on recent advances in developing highly efficient heterogen...
Comparison of Productivity Plankton Types and Carbon Export Mechanisms in two Different Regimes of Subtropical North Atlantic a Modeling Study Salihoğlu, Barış (2016-02-15) Improved structure and mechanisms of carbon export and sequestration within marine ecosystem models is vital to better understand and predict changes in the global carbon cycle. We have implemented a 1D lower trophic ecosystem model at long-term time-series stations (BATS and ESTOC) in the North Atlantic for the years 1996-2000. We have investigated the dynamics of the productivity and carbon export, and mechanisms regulating them. Our simulations agree with the previous observations that show similar produ...
Future Mangrove Carbon Storage Under Climate Change and Deforestation Chatting, Mark; Al-Maslamani, Ibrahim; Walton, Mark; Skov, Martin W.; Kennedy, Hilary; Hüsrevoğlu, Yusuf Sinan; Le Vay, Lewis (2022-02-01) Mangroves are important sinks of organic carbon (C) and there is significant interest in their use for greenhouse gas emissions mitigation. Adverse impacts on organic carbon storage potential from future climate change and deforestation would devalue such ambitions, thus global projections of future change remains a priority research area. We modeled the effects of climate change on future C stocks and soil sequestration rates (CSR) under two climate scenarios ("business as usual": SSP245 and high-emissions...
A Global approach to the hydrogen production, carnon assimilation and nitrogen metabolism of rhodobacter capsulatus by physiological and microarray analyses Afşar, Nilüfer; Yücel, Ayşe Meral; Department of Biology (2012) One of the most important parameters affecting hydrogen production in photofermentation process is the type of carbon and nitrogen sources. For this reason in this research, the effect of different nitrogen sources (5mM ammonium chloride and 2mM glutamate) and acetate concentrations (40‐80mM) on metabolism of Rhodobacter capsulatus were investigated. First of all, physiological experiments were carried out to compare growth, hydrogen production and substrate utilization behaviors of R. capsulatus on differe...
Measuring carbon performance for sustainable green supply chain practices: a developing country scenario Ali, Sadia Samar; Kaur, Rajbir; ERSÖZ, FİLİZ; Altaf, Bothinah; Basu, Arati; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-02-06) Carbon emissions due to economic activities are recognized to be global problem. Governments of all countries need to evolve environmental policies and practices for large-scale collective actions to regulate green house gas emission. Fuel quality standards for vehicles, stricter codes for construction, emission limits for industrial units and power plants are some of measures advocated to speed up emission control. This study investigates how far different sectors of a developing economy are able to manage...
