Why Samples?
SAMPLES addresses the dearth of reliable information about greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture in tropical countries. SAMPLES scientists work with developing countries to improve data on agricultural greenhouse gas emissions and mitigation potentials.
Our network of research sites stretch across the globe.

Soil Carbon: A leaky sink
Ambitious greenhouse–gas emissions cuts are needed to limit the global mean above preindustrial levels. A study now finds that the land sink for CO2 appears …read more
Global patterns in mangrove soil carbon stocks and losses
Mangrove soils represent a large sink for otherwise rapidly recycled carbon (C). However, widespread deforestation threatens the preservation of this important C stock. It is …read more
Global Carbon Cycle: Long-term pattern and magnitude of soil carbon feedback to the climate system in a warming world
In a 26-year soil warming experiment in a mid-latitude hardwood forest, we documented changes in soil carbon cycling to investigate the potential consequences for the …read more
