We provide a comprehensive dataset of vertical profiles of photosynthesis and important leaf traits, including leaf N and P concentrations, from two 3-year, large-scale nutrient addition experiments conducted in two tropical rainforests in French Guiana. These data present a unique source of information to further improve model representations of the roles of N and P, and other leaf nutrients, in photosynthesis in tropical forests.

Net ecosystem and soil fluxes of the greenhouse gases, methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), were measured at a wet tropical forest site. The measurements covered a 26-month period including contrasting seasons. The forest absorbed CH4 during the driest season and emitted it during the wettest, while consistently emitting N2O. Some of the upland soil consistently absorbed CH4 but emitted N2O. Statistical models showed soil water content as one of the key drivers of these greenhouse gas fluxes.

This study explored how adding crushed basalt and biochar to soil affects plant growth, soil carbon emissions, and plant trace metal uptake. While basalt alone increased carbon dioxide release from soil, combining it with biochar reduced this effect. Biochar also boosted plant growth and lowered the amount of trace metals taken up by crops. These findings suggest that using biochar with basalt may improve soil health and help manage environmental risks.

Short summary
Humidification of air reduces the abundances of dry-air gas components such as oxygen, explaining why tropical humidity can be "stifling". This is overlooked due to the common expression of gas concentrations as fractions of dry air. Such neglect of water vapour also masks the key role of its sources and sinks in activating transport mechanisms of other gases. Humidity should be quantified whenever reporting gas concentrations.

A mesocosm experiment was set up to investigate how maize responds to the application of basalt, concrete fines, and steel slag, using a dose–response approach. Biomass increased with basalt application but did not change with concrete fines or steel slag, except for increased tassel biomass. Mg, Ca, and Si generally increased in the crops, whereas toxic trace elements remained unaffected or even decreased in the plants. Overall, crops were positively affected by the application of silicate materials.

Enhanced rock weathering is a nature based negative emission technology, that permanently stores CO2. It requires rock-flour to be added to arable land with the help of farmers. To be eligible for carbon credits calls for a simple but scientifically solid, so called, Monitoring, Reporting & Verification” (MRV). We demonstrate that the commonly used carbon-based accounting is ill-suited to close the balance in open systems such as arable land, and argue for cation-based accounting strategy.

Our study explores Enhanced Weathering (EW) using basalt rock dust to combat climate change. We treated corn-planted mesocosms with varying basalt amounts and monitored them for 101 days. Surprisingly, we found no significant inorganic carbon dioxide removal (CDR). However, rock weathering was evident through increased exchangeable bases. While immediate inorganic CDR benefits were not observed, basalt amendment may enhance soil health and potentially long-term carbon sequestration.

The gross primary production (GPP) of the terrestrial biosphere is a key source of variability in the global carbon cycle. To estimate this flux, models can rely on remote sensing data (RS-driven), meteorological data (meteo-driven) or a combination of both (hybrid). An intercomparison of 11 models demonstrated that RS-driven models lack the sensitivity to short-term anomalies. Conversely, the simulation of soil moisture dynamics and stress response remains a challenge in meteo-driven models.

In subarctic grassland on a geothermal warming gradient, we found large reductions in topsoil carbon stocks, with carbon stocks linearly declining with warming intensity. Most importantly, however, we observed that soil carbon stocks stabilised within 5 years of warming and remained unaffected by warming thereafter, even after > 50 years of warming. Moreover, in contrast to the large topsoil carbon losses, subsoil carbon stocks remained unaffected after > 50 years of soil warming.

Short summary
Zea mays grows in mesocosms with different soil nutrition levels. At low phosphorus (P) availability, leaf physiological activity initially decreased strongly. P stress decreased over the season. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) symbiosis increased over the season. AMF symbiosis is most likely responsible for gradual reduction in P stress.
Zea mays grows in mesocosms with different soil nutrition levels. At low phosphorus (P)...
