Clean Technica: The Key To Carbon Sequestration Could Be Right Under Our Feet
„New thinking in the scientific community suggests the answer could be right beneath our feet. Soil — which we commonly refer to dismissively as dirt — can sequester four times as much carbon dioxide as all the plants and trees in the world. It is second only to the world’s oceans in its ability to store carbon dioxide. But that ability has been drastically degraded by industrial farming techniques that rely on heavy usage of fertilizers and pesticides (mostly derived from oil), extreme tilling, and an insistence on planting the same crops over and over on the same land.“
