Why Soil Could Make Climate Change Worse Than Scientists Thought – Time
Article Synopsis – Warming temperatures could cause soil to release more carbon dioxide than previously thought, contributing to a feedback mechanism that leads to even more warming, according to new research. The study found that soil in conditions of 4°C (7.2°F) of warming releases as much as 37% more carbon dioxide than soil that has not warmed. Some researchers also believe optimizing soil to serve as a better carbon sink could help take some carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. To read the actual article click here.
