Land-based climate change mitigation on abandoned cropland. Check out our new paper! nature.com/articles/s4324…

Natural revegetation, afforestation and growth of bioenergy crop on abandoned croplands could achieve a climate change mitigation potential of 0.8-4.0 GtCO2-eq. per year. Xiangping Hu Jan Sandstad Næss @OtavioCavalett Francesco Cherubini nature.com/articles/s4324…

How sustainable are biofuels? I had a chat with Sean Mowbray about opportunities to produce bioenergy from abandoned and degraded cropland. Read the news story here! news.mongabay.com/2023/03/a-liqu… #biofuels #bioenergy #beccs #sustainability #climatechange #land NTNU IndEcol NTNU_EPT

Time to better understand soil carbon carbon change following land abandonment! Important point made in this comment.

We synthesised local biodiversity observations across 99 studies and 571 mammal species and found that land use diversification can lead to mammal biodiversity similar to natural levels, but also that not all species benefit. You can read the article here: doi.org/10.1111/gcb.16…

Great new study proposing prioritization strategies for abandoned cropland. Recultivation for food production and continued natural regrowth are two key options. Check it out!

The rise of climate misinformation and abuse of climate scientists is a very important issue raised by the BBC World Service’s the Climate Question. You may hear about my experiences on BBC Sounds : bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w3…

Our new research reveals the global promise of biomethane production and CO2 removal by anaerobic digestion of waste biomass and residues. The key takeaway: 1.5 GtCO2/yr can be harnessed for carbon removal through #BECCS using agricultural waste worldwide iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…

New paper "Bridging Quantitative and Qualitative Science for BECCS in Abandoned Croplands". We highlight the real-world challenges of bioenergy crop deployment and the sociotechnical changes needed to go from modelled futures to practice. Tomas Moe Skjølsvold doi.org/10.1029/2023EF…
