The annual burial of organic carbon in lakes and reservoirs exceeds that of ocean sediments, but inland waters are components of the global carbon cycle that receive only limited attention. Here the authors find that the mineralization of organic carbon in lake sediments exhibits a strong positive relationship with temperature, suggesting that warmer water temperatures lead to more mineralization and less organic carbon burial.

The relationship between capital and nature gravitates towards a policy of primary accumulation. This article provides an analysis of the imposition of capitalist property rights over natural resources in India as processes of primary accumulation. These processes are evidenced by the construction of large dams and mines, in addition to the proliferation of free market environmentalism.

Global climate and the atmospheric partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2atm ) are correlated over recent glacial cycles, with lower pCO2atm during ice ages, but the causes of the pCO2atm changes are unknown. The modern Southern Ocean releases deeply sequestered CO2 to the atmosphere.

While agriculture accounts for an estimated 10 to 14 percent of total greenhouse gas emissions, its role as a mitigating force is receiving increasing attention.

India is one of the major leapfrogging economies of the world and it has demonstrated its economic resilience in the wake of the global economic debacle. It quickly recovered from the downslide and has shown positives signs of becoming an economic superpower by 2020.

This paper attempts a comparative analysis of three carbon management studies (two project design documents and a feasibility study) which seek to benefit community level institutions for their forest management and conservation efforts.

India taking on climate change

To many people, modern agriculture, with its industrial-scale farms and reliance on petroleum-based fertilizers, may seem a necessary evil
