Physicists and soil scientists at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have teamed up to develop a new method for finding carbon stored in the soil by plants and microbes. Microbes in the soil then take this carbon and turn it into organic matter that can persist for decades, centuries, or longer. Human […]
The main way used is through modeling, but they also will probably combine that with a soil test to measure the change in the soil,” Sellers said. “Truterra estimates between 0.2 and 0.75 tons of carbon dioxide is sequestered per acre, depending on region, practices and soil types. It’s difficult to put a value on […]
