Corrigendum to “Simulating soil organic carbon stock as affected by land cover change and climate change, Hyrcanian forests (northern Iran)” [Sci. Total Environ. 599–600 (2017) 1646–1657]

The changes in the pattern of land use and land cover (LU/LC) have remarkable consequences on ecosystem functioning and natural resources dynamics. The present study analyzes the spatial pattern of LU/LC change detection along the Killiar River Basin (KRB), a major tributary of Karamana river in Thiruvananthapuram district, Kerala (India), over a period of 64 years (1957-2021) through Remote Sensing and GIS approach. The rationale of the study is to identify and classify LU/LC changes in KRB using the Survey of India (SOI) toposheet (1:50,000) of 1957, LISS-III imagery of 2005, Landsat 8 OLI & TIRS imagery of 2021 and further to scrutinize the impact of LU/LC conversion on Soil Organic Carbon stock in the study area. Five major LU/LC classes, viz., agriculture land, built-up, forest, wasteland and water bodies were characterized from available data. Within the study period, built-up area and wastelands showed a substantial increase of 51.51% and 15.67% respectively. Thus, the general trend followed is the increase in built-up and wastelands area which results in the decrease of all other LU/LC classes. Based on IPCC guidelines, total soil organic carbon (SOC) stock of different land-use types was estimated and was 1292.72 Mt C in 1957, 562.65 Mt C in 2005 and it reduced to 152.86 Mt C in 2021. This decrease is mainly due to various anthropogenic activities, mainly built-up activities. This conversion for built-up is at par with the rising population, and over-exploitation of natural and agricultural resources is increasing every year.

Organic Carbon Stock

Wetland basin soils are the major store houses of organic carbon where there is a scope to use this carbon in mitigating the climate change. A study was conducted in these basin soils at 100 cm depth regarding their carbon stock. The study showed that total soil organic carbon (SOC) stock in the Sylhet basin soils of Bangladesh is 0.094 Pg where the SOC stock was 0.044 Pg in medium low land sites and it was about 0.050 Pg in lowland sites. There was no previous study on SOC stock in the Sylhet basin soils of Bangladesh. These may act as benchmark SOC stock datasets for the future agricultural planning. The soil organic carbon stock is higher in the lowland than medium lowland sites. The contents of SOC are low is compared to its threshold levels. Moreover, it is apprehended that basin soils may lose their carbon due to the decrease of inundation level by climate change, and other eco-environmental changes. So, it is very much urgent to take steps in preserving the organic carbon of lowland basin soils. Asiat. Soc. Bangladesh, Sci. 46(1): 49-60, June 2020

Evaluation of Adaptive Measures to Reduce Climate Change Impact on Soil Organic Carbon Stock In Žitný Ostrov RegionClimate change impacts on soil organic carbon sequestration rate were simulated by agroecological model DAISY. Daily meteorological data for the Danubian Lowland up to 2100 were generated according to emission scenarios SRES A2 and B1 using general circulation model CGCM3.1. Effect of gradual increase of CO2concentration in the atmosphere was taken into account. Various crop rotations as well as various management practices including irrigation and crop residuals incorporation were considered in three variants: i/ rainfed, residuals not incorporated, ii/ irrigated, residuals not incorporated, iii/ summer crops irrigated and residuals incorporated. Modelling outputs confirm that conventional rainfed agro-technical practices without incorporation of crop residues resulted to significant loss of soil organic carbon in soil profile towards more distanced time slices. The irrigation and the incorporation of crop residuals including stems and leaves can reduce soil organic carbon losses. If it is combined with proper crop rotation the soil organic carbon stock in soil profile can even increase.
