“…Sugarcane plantation in Cauca River Valley in Colombia is harvested on around 200 000 ha of land and it is estimated that the country can potentially generate 3.8 million L d −1 of fuel ethanol by 2020 . In Mexico, sugarcane is harvested through manual cutting once a year in a period between December and May . Although Mexico is known for sugarcane crops, sugarcane yields decreased from 72 to 64 metric ton ha −1 annually in the last decade, which was attributed primarily to climate change .…”

“…Usually the first batch of juice extracted goes to sugar manufacturing and about 55% goes to ethanol production. Sugarcane is usually cultivated for six years before replanting . Sugarcane maturity, harvesting method, type of soil, and efficiency of equipment used for the extraction process may affect the composition of sugarcane bagasse.…”

Sugarcane bagasse is a large-volume agriculture residue that is generated on a ~540 million metric tons per year basis globally 1,2 with the top-three producing countries in Latin America being Brazil (~181 million metric ton yr −1 ), 3 Mexico (~15 million metric ton yr −1 ), 4 and Colombia (~7 million metric ton yr −1 ), 5 respectively. 6 Given sustainability concerns and the need to maximize the utilization of bioresources, the use of sugarcane bagasse is receiving signifi cant attention in biorefi ning applications, as it is a promising resource for the conversion to biofuels and biopower. This review provides a comprehensive review of bagasse and its chemical constituents and on-going research into its utilization as a feedstock for cellulosic ethanol and electricity generation.

“…c o m / l o c a t e / s t i l l Sun et al, 2012). The dynamics of SOC sequestration in soil aggregates have been studied widely (Anaya and Huber-Sannwald, 2015;Chung et al, 2008;Gulde et al, 2008;Steffens et al, 2011). However, the majority of these studies did not differentiate the residue C from native SOC after the incorporation of residue into soil.…”

“…Soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil organic nitrogen (SON) contents are important indexes of soil fertility controlling agroecosystem productivity [2]. Previous studies have reported that agricultural activities, such as application of organic and inorganic fertilizers, irrigation, fallow, and intercultivation, affect SOC and SON storage, greenhouse gas emissions, loss of inorganic N, and soil structure [3][4][5][6][7]. However, these agricultural activities cause different kinds of feedback on SOC and SON dynamic due to the differences in climate, topography, and soil parent material in some studies [8][9][10].…”

Soil carbon and nitrogen storage and stabilization are the key to solving the problems of mitigation of global warming and maintaining of crop productivity. In this study, the contents of soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil organic nitrogen (SON) and their stable isotope compositions (δ13CSOC and δ15NSON) in soil profiles were determined in two agricultural lands (including a farmland and an abandoned farmland) and four non-agricultural lands (including two shrub-grass lands and two shrub lands) in the karst critical zone observatory (CZO), Southwest China. The contents of SOC and SON were used for research on the effects of land use on SOC and SON storage, and the change of δ13CSOC and δ15NSON values in soil profiles were used to indicate SOC and SON stabilization. The results showed that agricultural activities reduced SOC and SON storage in the whole soil layers of farmland compared to non-agricultural lands, and farmland abandonment slightly increased SOC and SON storage. Crop rotation between peanut (C3) and corn (C4) affected the δ13CSOC in surface soils of agricultural lands (−21.6‰), which were intermediate between shrub lands (−22.7‰) and shrub-grass lands (−19.6‰). 15N-depleted SON in surface soils in farmland compared to those soil in other lands possibly associated with synthetic N fertilizer application. In soil layers below 30 cm depth the δ13CSOC deceased with depth, while the δ15NSON displayed irregular fluctuation. The change in δ13CSOC and δ15NSON through soil profiles in karst soils were more intensive than those in semiarid grassland soils indicating the less stabilization of SOC and SON in karst soils.
