Soil and sediment lock away more CO2 than thought: study Soil, river sediment and dead vegetation lock away more planet-warming CO2 caused by humanity than trees, said a new study published Thursday, ...

They found that mycorrhizal fungi—tiny helpers in the soil—play a big role in helping grasslands store more carbon, both near the surface and in deeper soil layers, by promoting plant ...

It is commonly assumed that as forest ecosystems age, they accumulate and store, or "sequester," more carbon. A new study based at the University of Michigan Biological Station untangled carbon ...

The most traditional is reforestation, but other options such as the restoration and enhancement of wetlands and peatlands, as well as the enormous potential of soil as a carbon sink, also stand out.
