What is climate change ?
Climate change refers to
Change in the state of the climate which can be identified by
changes in the mean and/or variability of it’s properties
That change persists for an extended period, typically decades or
longer
It may be due to natural variability or as a result of human activity
Climate change is having and will continue to have, fundamental
impacts on the natural environment and on human well-being
IPCC (2007)
Parry et al. (2007)
Terms we frequently come across
studying climate change
Climatic extremes:
• In climatic extreme the occurrence of a
value of a climate variable above or
below the threshold value.
• Near the upper (or lower) ends of the
range of observed values
Many biological systems (including human societies) are more sensitive to
climate extremes than to gradual climate change, due to typically greater
response strengths and shorter response times

Impacts of elevated CO2 on crop
residue
• Elevated CO2 produces huge amount of
residues & also decreases decomposition
rate
• Elevated CO2 decreases the quality of
residue by decreasing the N content in
biomass
• As lower N content in residue impact
lower N mineralization might increase the
dependency of crops towards fertilizer N

Q10 value & arhenius equation
 Q10 of SOM decomposition is 2 .
 But Arrhenius noticed it is only increases by about 1.5% for every 10 degree
rise in temperature.
 Arrhenius equation
K= A exp(-Ea/RT).
 The term exp(-Ea/RT) determines the fraction of the molecules present with
energies equal to or in excess of the required activation energy.
 The Arrhenius function also shows that reactants with higher activation
energies (that is less reactive and more recalcitrant) should have higher
temperature sensitivities.
 For example, in a temperate ecosystem and under current climate conditions,
the annual decomposition of glucose (Ea = 30 kJ/mol ) would proceed 6.5
million times faster than annual decomposition of a tannin compound with an
Ea of about 70 kJ/mol (assuming equal and unlimited pool sizes).
Rising temperature and SOC dynamics
Carbon quality-temperature (CQT)
hypothesis predicts that the temperature
sensitivity of SOM decomposition increases
with biochemical recalcitrance.

Anthropogenic CO2 emissions from 1750-2000
and from six marker SRES scenarios from
2000 to 2100
Matthews et al.(2005)
The three A1 groups are distinguished by their technological emphasis such as rapid
economic growth FOR A more integrated world .
A1FI = an emphasis on fossil fuels (fossil intensive).
A1b = a balanced emphasis on all energy sources.
A1t = emphasis on nonfossil energy sources.
The A2 scenario is primarily regionally oriented i.e. more divided world. And per capita
economic growth and technological change are more fragmented and slower than in other
storylines.
A world of independently operating, self reliant nations.
Continuously increasing population.
The B1 storyline is related to the introduction of clean and resource-efficient technologies.
An emphasis on global solutions to economic, social and environmental stability
The B2 storyline and scenario family describes a world in which the emphasis is on local
solutions to economic, social, and environmental sustainability.
Continuously increasing population, but at a slower rate than in A2.
Different SRES scenarios:

Impacts of climate change on
agriculture production
 In some areas, warming may benefit the types
of crops that are typically planted there, or
allow farmers to shift to crops that are
currently grown in warmer areas. Conversely,
if the higher temperature exceeds a crop's
optimum temperature, yields will decline
 Elevated CO2 levels can increase plant growth .
but elevated CO2 has been associated with
reduced protein and nitrogen content in alfalfa
and soybean plants, resulting in a loss of
quality.
 Many weeds, pests, and fungi thrive under
warmer temperatures, wetter climates, and
increased CO2 levels. Human health is also
threatened by increased pesticide use due to
increased pest pressures and reductions in the
efficacy of pesticides.

Different technological strategy for carbon
sequestration
Lal(2008)
Conclusion
Carbon content in soil is about twice as large as that of in the atmosphere and
about three times that in the vegetation.
Not all climate extremes cause extreme impacts in soil carbon stock, but they can
have indirect/direct and/or immediate/lagged effects.
Not all terrestrial carbon cycle extremes are propagated immediately into the
atmosphere.
Elevated atmospheric CO2 grown crop residue quality will be decreased due to
lowering of N content thereby widening of C:N ratio , which lower N
mineralization & might increase the dependency of crops towards fertilizer N.
The goal of mitigation strategies to enhance C sink capacity of soil and vegetation,
and reduce the net anthropogenic emissions.
Path ahead…….
How climate change affects symbiosis & symbiotic organisms as well as
biological nitrogen fixation ?
How can we reduce GHG gas emission from different cropping system especially
rice cropping ?
How climate change affects nutrient availability w.r.t. macronutrient & different
essential micronutrient ?
What degree of effects climate change impact on microbe-microbe (or) plant
microbial interactions with relevant for ecosystem functioning ?
How thawing of permafrost impacts on mineralization of nutrients & seasonal
productivity ?
Future experiments should address lagged effects more consistently , as well as
ecosystem response to multiple subsequent climate extremes & its impact on
plant-soil interaction & soil processes.

Q10 value & arhenius equation  Q10 of SOM decomposition is 2 .  But Arrhenius noticed it is only increases by about 1.5% for every 10 degree rise in temperature.  Arrhenius equation K= A exp(-Ea/RT).  The term exp(-Ea/RT) determines the fraction of the molecules present with energies equal to or in excess of the required activation energy.  The Arrhenius function also shows that reactants with higher activation energies (that is less reactive and more recalcitrant) should have higher temperature sensitivities.  For example, in a temperate ecosystem and under current climate conditions, the annual decomposition of glucose (Ea = 30 kJ/mol ) would proceed 6.5 million times faster than annual decomposition of a tannin compound with an Ea of about 70 kJ/mol (assuming equal and unlimited pool sizes).

Impacts of climate change on agriculture production  In some areas, warming may benefit the types of crops that are typically planted there, or allow farmers to shift to crops that are currently grown in warmer areas. Conversely, if the higher temperature exceeds a crop's optimum temperature, yields will decline  Elevated CO2 levels can increase plant growth . but elevated CO2 has been associated with reduced protein and nitrogen content in alfalfa and soybean plants, resulting in a loss of quality.  Many weeds, pests, and fungi thrive under warmer temperatures, wetter climates, and increased CO2 levels. Human health is also threatened by increased pesticide use due to increased pest pressures and reductions in the efficacy of pesticides. USEPA

  • 38. Conclusion Carbon content in soil is about twice as large as that of in the atmosphere and about three times that in the vegetation. Not all climate extremes cause extreme impacts in soil carbon stock, but they can have indirect/direct and/or immediate/lagged effects. Not all terrestrial carbon cycle extremes are propagated immediately into the atmosphere. Elevated atmospheric CO2 grown crop residue quality will be decreased due to lowering of N content thereby widening of C:N ratio , which lower N mineralization & might increase the dependency of crops towards fertilizer N. The goal of mitigation strategies to enhance C sink capacity of soil and vegetation, and reduce the net anthropogenic emissions.
  • 39. Path ahead……. How climate change affects symbiosis & symbiotic organisms as well as biological nitrogen fixation ? How can we reduce GHG gas emission from different cropping system especially rice cropping ? How climate change affects nutrient availability w.r.t. macronutrient & different essential micronutrient ? What degree of effects climate change impact on microbe-microbe (or) plant microbial interactions with relevant for ecosystem functioning ? How thawing of permafrost impacts on mineralization of nutrients & seasonal productivity ? Future experiments should address lagged effects more consistently , as well as ecosystem response to multiple subsequent climate extremes & its impact on plant-soil interaction & soil processes.

Editor's Notes

  1. Net exchange of C (in Tg C) between the soil and atmosphere as a result of accelerated erosion integrated for the period 4000 B.C. to A.D. 2000 for the Dijle catchment. Boxes represent reservoirs, black arrows represent lateral C fluxes, dark gray arrows represent mineralization of buried C in depositional environments, and light gray arrows represent soil C inputs. The land use change flux is the direct (non–erosion-related) effect of ALCC on soil C storage. The soil thus is both a source and a sink, where the sink term is greater than the source term. The soil C stock is the estimated initial C stock for the upper 1 m of the profile before the start of agriculture (4000 B.C.). *The possible mechanisms leading to destabilization of buried C are decomposition, i.e., a CO2 flux toward the atmosphere, and leaching losses.
  2. (A) Evolution of land use in the Dijle catchment between 4000 B.C. (i.e., the start of agriculture) and A.D. 2000. (B) Age and average relative accumulated sediment for colluvial and floodplain sediment deposition. The line represents the average value and the error bars indicate the SD (for the 12 floodplain sites) or range (for the three colluvial sites). (C) Reconstructed sediment budget related to accelerated erosion including sediment mobilization on the hillslopes (erosion), deposition on slopes and in dry valleys (colluvium) and floodplains, and export from the Dijle catchment for the period of agriculture. (D) Estimated cumulative emission of C resulting from the direct effect of ALCC (Net Soil + Vegetation), i.e., the C release due to a reduction in vegetation (Vegetation) and soil C losses due to reduced C inputs and increased soil disturbance (Soil). (E) Estimated cumulative emission (positive values, to atmosphere) and uptake (negative values, to soils) resulting from the indirect effect of ALCC through accelerated erosion and burial of soil C. The combination of increased stabilization of C in the soils exposed at the surface of eroded hillslopes (Erosion C uptake) with the slower release from buried sediments in colluvium floodplain soils resulted in net erosion-induced C sink (Net Erosion). (F) Net release of C due to ALCC when both direct losses from soil and vegetation and erosion-induced C uptake are accounted for. The triangles indicate the best estimate of erosion-induced C uptake; the error bars indicate the uncertainty range and are derived from a low and high scenario (SI Text).
  3. The first mechanism is a change in heterotrophic respiration that enhances SOC decomposition and leads to loss of heavy SOC as CO2. The second mechanism is a decline in the net primary production by plants that leads to lower inputs of C as litter and, ultimately, less C entering heavy SOC stores. The two seasonally distinct sets of soil
