Moreover, when disturbed through "erosion, agriculture, deforestation, mining and other human activities," they will become large contributors to further exacerbate global warming and climate change.
The work suggests that fossil organic carbon in buried soils is widespread and, as humans increasingly disturb landscapes through a variety of activities, a potential...
