“…In Zhang et al (2023), the inclusion of NEE was observed to improve the terrestrial photosynthesis model and global carbon cycle prediction amidst climate changes. The same assertion was shown by Mahmud et al (2021) for dryland global carbon cycle contribution using the global terrestrial biosphere model including those predicted for urban forests 22,23 , peatland mosses 24 , tropical vegetation 25 , as well as environmental processes of soil respirations ?,27 and land-ocean-atmosphere carbon exchange 28,29,30 .…”

Modeling global net ecosystem exchange is essential to understanding and quantifying the complex interactions between the Earth’s terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere. Emphasizing the interrelatedness between the global net ecosystem exchange, global sea surface temperature, and atmospheric CO2 levels, intuitively suggests that all three systems may exhibit collective environmental memory. Motivated by this, we explicitly identified a collective memory function and showed a similar non-Markovian stochastic behavior for these systems exhibiting superdiffusive behavior in short time intervals. These results were consistent with our previous analyses at the ecosystem level suggesting scale invariance for these phenomena. Thus, the observed superdif fusive behavior operating at different scales suggests the universality of the collective memory function for these systems.

“…The included studies examined soil carbon using both direct and indirect approaches. Direct studies explicitly focused on carbon stock analysis in urban green areas [4,17,18,21,25,28,[48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61]. The indirect studies deviated from a specific focus on soil carbon as a central theme.…”

This review examines methodologies studying soil carbon in urban green spaces, a field requiring higher attention as their ecosystem services are valued and urban mitigation plans against climate change are developed. In the growing global urbanization, urban green spaces play a crucial role as nature-based solutions to address climate challenges, demanding efficient carbon accounting and reduction strategies. In this research, a systematic review was conducted assessing publications from 2021 to 2023 in the databases Web of Science and Scopus. Findings expose the lack of standardization in the methodologies used to study soil carbon in urban green spaces, evidencing in situ measurements at different sampling depths and studies without longitudinal monitoring over time. In addition, studies originated primarily in universities from China, United States and Spain, which focused on carbon in the form of Soil Organic Carbon and Total Carbon. Based on these findings, recommendations are made advocating for the combination and standardizing methodologies. This review offers valuable insights that shed light on an ignore and often overseen issue. Further studies and standardized methodology are needed, to help cities efforts in their pursuit of carbon neutrality by acknowledging the influential role of urban soils, especially green spaces.

“…In forest ecosystems, the litterfall C pool is often studied as part of the total forest C pool. Pan et al [48] and Mandal et al [49] reported that the litterfall C pool accounts for about 5% of the overall forest C pool. However, the litterfall in forest ecosystems has accumulated over long periods of time and is continuously decomposed by microorganisms.…”

As major carbon (C) pools in cities, urban green spaces play a crucial role in reducing atmospheric carbon. To determine the importance of litterfall C storage in urban green spaces, we selected the leaf area index (LAI) as a proxy indicator for litterfall C density (LCD), and established a log-linear regression model between LCD and LAI to predict the annual litterfall C pool in large-scale urban green spaces using Sentinel-2 satellite remote sensing data. Forty-five sample units were randomly selected in typical urban green spaces in Beijing, China. A high-temperature combustion method was used to measure the LCD of the sampling units, and stepwise linear regression was used to filter the proxy indicator for LCD. The annual litterfall C pool in regions within the Fifth Ring Road was also estimated with inversion using remote sensing data. From 2015 to 2021, the estimated annual litterfall C pool was in the range of 4.5–5.8 × 1010 g, i.e., approximately 18.9% of the total C storage recorded for the urban green space, which was far greater than that observed in forest ecosystems. We concluded that the litterfall C pool in urban green spaces is seriously underestimated, and that urban tree litterfall has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions if used as a carbon-neutral resource.
