Earthworms facilitate carbon sequestration through unequal amplification of carbon stabilization compared with mineralization

Soil Carbon Sequestration through Desertification Control

Desertification, a natural process, is exacerbated by anthropogenic activities. It reduces soil productivity, jeopardizes food security, impairs environment quality, accelerates global warming and exacerbates global security risks. Degradation of soil and vegetation aggravates the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The biophysical processes of soil and vegetation degradation are ...

Perceptions of carbon sequestration

(2008) Initial public perceptions of carbon sequestration: Implications for engagement and environmental risk communication strategies. sequestration: Implications for engagement and environmental risk communication strategies. Abstract Despite widespread scientific acceptance, little is known about how the public perceives carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology designed to reduce greenhou...

Trading water for carbon with biological carbon sequestration.

Carbon sequestration strategies highlight tree plantations without considering their full environmental consequences. We combined field research, synthesis of more than 600 observations, and climate and economic modeling to document substantial losses in stream flow, and increased soil salinization and acidification, with afforestation. Plantations decreased stream flow by 227 millimeters per y...
