[AlphaGalileo RSS Channel] The Carbon Balance of Terrestrial Ecosystems in China: Despite the fact that carbon sequestration induced by afforestation and vegetation restoration will be persist in the near future, the percentage of fossil fuel CO2 emissions offset by terrestrial ecosystems has declined since 2000 and may do so in the future, because of the dramatic acceleration in emissions driven by economic growth. How the tradeoff between these two factors evolves will be of great international concern as well as a big challenge for China to take actions to manage its carbon balance in the future.

[EcoSilly] Carbon Balance Of Terrestrial Ecosystems In China | EcoSilly: During the 1980s and 1990s, China showed a net carbon sink of 0.19-0.26 Pg carbon (PgC), which is smaller than that in the conterminous United States but comparable to that in geographic Europe. Northeast China is a net source of CO2 to the atmosphere owing to over-harvesting and degradation of forests.

[environmentalresearchweb: all content] China soaks up carbon - environmentalresearchweb: "Projections for the year 2030, produced by the International Energy Agency, place Chinese fossil-fuel carbon dioxide emissions at 3.1 Pg of carbon per year, of which only 6–8% will be offset by biospheric uptake should China's biosphere continue to remove carbon at its current rate (a questionable prospect)," said Kevin Robert Gurney of Purdue University, who was not involved in the research, writing in a "News and Views" article in Nature.

[From The Wilderness] The Hero's Journey at the End of the World « From The Wilderness: The plant community sheds leaves and other organic debris onto the soil which feeds it as it is eaten by the “decomposers.” This cycling of biological energy is then extrapolated to the cycles of life of all the other biological entities of the ecosystem through the food chains and other services species do for each other in what is an energy flow system with photosynthesis as the primary motor.

Southern China, on the other hand, accounts for more than 65% of the country’s carbon sink.

[EDGE Blog] EDGE Blog » Witness to Extinction: Looking specifically at the baiji, this species has survived on its own evolutionary path for 20 million years, and had found its niche in the Yangtze until we changed this environment in an instant (when you’re looking at 20 million years of specifically adapted evolution). John, you suggest that it could have swam faster or explored further afield, but in an environment littered with fish hooks, enormous boats, industrial pollutants, effluent, and dams, where exactly could the baiji swim or explore?

[PA Pundits - International] Managing Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Seizing the Window of Opportunity: SO2 emissions from the US Midwest was causing havoc in central Ontario, Quebec and parts of the Eastern provinces.  Northern Ontario SO2 sources were taking their toll in the alkaline starved lakes of New England.   Something needed to be done.  In 1989, the President of the US and the Prime Minister of Canada stated their intent to negotiate an air quality agreement.  By 1991, the Canadian and United States Heads of States signed the US • Canada Air Quality Agreement in Ottawa.  The results of the Agreement have been impressive with reductions on both sides of the border.  Even the morose UNEP Global Environmental Outlook GEO4 - environment for development has a positive comment of the reduction of SO2 emissions in Europe and North America.

From this perspective, the novel form of online trees planting which separates the subjects of donating and implementing might help to get rid of the limitations of time, space, knowledge, optimize the allocation of resources and avoid such problems.

There is too much demand in the US, China, India, and the rest of the world for transportation fuel "driving"competition for resources (corn etc) to magicly be eliminated by policy changes, and too much at stake to continue to rely on fossil fuel.
