Getting the message right on nature-based solutions to climate change

Nathalie Seddon et al.

Summary: Nature-based solutions (NbS) have gained popularity as an integrated approach to address climate change and biodiversity loss, but concerns have been raised about the overemphasis on tree planting for carbon sequestration. NbS should encompass a wide range of ecosystems, engage local communities, and be explicitly designed to benefit biodiversity in order to effectively tackle urgent challenges.

The role of soils in the regulation of ocean acidification

P. Renforth et al.

Summary: Enhanced weathering is a method to mitigate climate change by increasing alkalinity in soils. Elevating ocean alkalinity levels can help counteract the effects of CO2 and replenish the ocean's buffering capacity. However, further research is needed to fully understand the downstream and oceanic impacts.

The role of soils on pollination and seed dispersal

Luisa G. Carvalheiro et al.

Summary: Ongoing environmental changes are impacting soil components and potentially affecting pollinators' and seed dispersers' behavior, fitness, and density. While there is some evidence on the effects of soil nitrogen enrichment and changes in soil water content, much remains unknown about the impacts of other soil properties and the mechanisms explaining the correlation. Increased research on this topic is necessary to understand and predict the impacts of ongoing environmental changes on ecosystem functioning.

The role of soils in the disposition, sequestration and decontamination of environmental contaminants

Binoy Sarkar et al.

Summary: Soil acts as both a source and sink for contaminants, deriving from both geogenic and anthropogenic origins. It plays a critical role in the transformation and transfer of contaminants to different environmental compartments. In addition, soil is essential in the decontamination process, which is primarily controlled by physico-chemical interactions and biochemical transformations facilitated by soil microorganisms.

The role of soils in provision of genetic, medicinal and biochemical resources

Soren Thiele-Bruhn

Summary: Healthy soils play a crucial role in providing ecosystem services and supporting human health. They act as hotspots of biodiversity, providing biochemical resources and medicinal services. Microorganisms and enzymes in soils help enhance natural soil functions, promote plant growth, biodegrade pollutants, and produce enzymes and chemicals for industrial use.

The role of soil in regulation of climate

Rattan Lal et al.

Summary: Soil carbon stock is crucial for global carbon cycle, and judicious land use and management practices can help re-carbonize depleted soils. Soil in humid climates have potential to increase storage of SOC, while soil in arid and semiarid climates can store both SOC and SIC, making them important sinks for atmospheric carbon.

The role of soils in provision of energy

Jo Smith et al.

Summary: Soils and energy have mutual impacts, with bioenergy cropping leading to land use changes and soil carbon losses. However, with protective policies and effective residue incorporation, some of the carbon losses can be offset. Additionally, avoiding the construction of renewable energy facilities on peatlands is an important measure to protect soils.

The role of soils in regulation of freshwater and coastal water quality

Kun Cheng et al.

Summary: Soil plays a crucial role in regulating water quality by mitigating pollutants through processes such as precipitation, adsorption, ion exchange, and decomposition. Constructed wetlands with optimal soil substrate show excellent performance in adsorbing and deactivating pollutants in water, while mangrove wetlands contribute to coastal zone protection and water quality restoration. Excessive use of agricultural chemicals can result in soil overload and agricultural non-point source pollution. Developing sustainable soil management measures is essential for maintaining soil's water purification function under the dual pressures of climate change and food insecurity.
