Sequestration Content / Sequestration Content for ºÙºÙÊÓƵ en Compost Key to Sequestering Carbon in the Soil /climate/news/compost-key-sequestering-carbon-soil <p>By moving beyond the surface level and literally digging deep, scientists at the University of California, Davis, found that compost is a key to storing carbon in semi-arid cropland soils, a strategy for offsetting CO2 emissions.</p> <p>For their 19-year study, <a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/gcb.14762">published&nbsp;in the journal <em>Global Change Biology</em></a>, scientists dug roughly 6 feet down to compare soil carbon changes in conventional, cover-cropped and compost-added plots of corn-tomato and wheat-fallow cropping systems. They found that:</p> August 14, 2019 - 3:24pm Katherine E Kerlin /climate/news/compost-key-sequestering-carbon-soil Grasslands More Reliable Carbon Sink Than Trees /climate/news/grasslands-more-reliable-carbon-sink-than-trees Grasslands and rangelands are more resilient carbon sinks than forests in California due to wildfire risks and climate change, a ºÙºÙÊÓƵ study found,.
