How Soil Could Be One Answer to Help Save the Planet
Soil can store three times the amount of carbon found in the atmosphere.
The deep, dark depths of the ocean are often called the final frontier—but, according to one researcher, the soils of the Earth are little understood as well.
Some of the soil's mysteries could reveal how to store carbon, and maybe one day, carbon dioxide—a key greenhouse gas that is causing global. In a study published on Monday, Marc Kramer, an assistant professor of environmental chemistry at Washington State University Vancouver, digs deeper into what scientists know about soil, particularly uncovering how soil minerals are associated with carbon storage in soil.
