Abstract

Forests have a key role as carbon sinks, which could potentially mitigate the continuing increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration and associated climate change. We show that carbon dioxide enrichment, although causing short-term growth stimulation in a range of European tree species, also leads to an increase in soil microbial respiration and a marked decline in sequestration of root-derived carbon in the soil. These findings indicate that, should similar processes operate in forest ecosystems, the size of the annual terrestrial carbon sink may be substantially reduced, resulting in a positive feedback on the rate of increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration., The concentration of C[O.sub.2] in the atmosphere has risen from its preindustrial level of ~280 µmol [mol.sup.-1] to 376 µmol [mol.sup.-1] in the year 2003 (1) as a result of [...]

Local authorities will be able to apply for tenants to be removed quickly when they have acquired evidence against them and an especially serious event takes place. The Act should help in keeping down delays in bringing cases to court. Landlords will, however, need to prepare their cases in a professional, diligent manner to succeed.
